Steintor and its collection
Source
The Steintor, located in Anklam in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, has been home to the regional history museum since 1989. This historical city gate from the 13th century is a landmark of the city and the only remaining city gate of the Hanseatic city of Anklam. After extensive restoration, it has been housing the regional history museum since 1989. It is the highest city gate in Pomerania and has a stepped gable. A climb of over 111 steps offers a view of the city and the Peene valley.
The Museum's Collection and the Otto Lilienthal Museum
The museum's collection suffered significant damage during the Second World War. It was not until 1972 that a building on Ellbogenstraße was made available to the museum again, which today houses the Otto Lilienthal Museum. In 1989, the museum was able to move into the reconstructed Steintor on the occasion of the city's 725th anniversary. As early as 1925, a replica of a flying apparatus of Otto Lilienthal, who was born in Anklam, was acquired.
