Kröpeliner Tor and its collection

Kröpeliner Tor
Source

The Kröpeliner Tor is a significant historical landmark in Rostock, built around 1270 in the Gothic style. It is the westernmost of the four large gates of the Rostock city fortification. This gate, with its two floors, was very large for its time and remained one of the most formidable of the city's gates.

Expansion of Kröpeliner Tor

Over the years, the Kröpeliner Tor underwent significant expansions. Around 1400, the city's bourgeoisie decided to add five floors to the gate, bringing it to its current height of 54 meters. This expansion was intended to convey the Hanseatic size and importance of the city to trade travelers.
