The Stone Gate is one of the landmarks of Wittenberge in the Brandenburg Prignitz. It is first mentioned in 1297 in connection with a report about an attack by knights from Mecklenburg. These allegedly surprised Otto I. Gans zu Putlitz from the Gans zu Putlitz family while bathing and abducted the lord of the city. During this attack, the Stone Gate burned down. Around 1450, the gate was rebuilt, which has survived to this day and is the oldest building in the city.
