Historical Uses of Hallesche Tor
The Hallesche Tor has served various purposes throughout its history. From at least 1743, it was used as a gatekeeper's residence. In 1824, the gate complex was converted into a prison. It was later transformed into municipal apartments. However, this use ended in 1972. Today, the gate houses the local history museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the region.
