City Wall Neubrandenburg-Friedländer Gate

The Friedländer Gate in Neubrandenburg was built in the first half of the 14th century in the style of North German Brick Gothic.

The name "Friedländer Gate" refers to the direction of the main road, today's B 104. It leads first northeast and later via the B 197 further to Friedland.

The gate protected the city towards Pomerania and was expanded into a gate castle with a total length of 88 meters. During the Thirty Years' War, the gate was stormed on the city side by General Tilly, after the imperial troops had gained access to the city through a breach in the wall next to the gate.

The main gate is a two-story gate tower and has a polygonal stair tower on the city side. This stair tower was rebuilt in the third quarter of the 15th century along with the entire city side of the gate. The outer gate with a small gabled roof between the pinnacles is a two-story, less representative building. It is still connected to the main gate by two walls. The half-timbered buildings between the two gates, the former gatekeeper's / customs and Zingel guard houses, now house the Torcafé and an office of the registry office of the city of Neubrandenburg. An architectural office is located in the outer gate, and a gallery and a club room in the main gate.

The Zingel has also been preserved. It was located in front of the double gate system of the Friedländer Gate. Built shortly before the Thirty Years' War, this structure was intended to additionally protect the gate system. The building had deep segmental arch niches on the city side and was equipped with loopholes on the field side. The formerly connecting curtain walls to the gate were demolished in the 19th century.
