The Holsten Gate (Holstein Tor, later Holstentor) is a city gate marking off the western boundary of the old center of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Built in 1464, the Brick Gothic construction is one of the relics of Lübeck's medieval city fortifications and one of two remaining city gates, the other being the Citadel Gate.
Known for its two-round towers and arched entrance, it is regarded today as a symbol of the city.
Together with the old city centre (Altstadt) of Lübeck it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
The Holsten Gate is composed of a south tower, a north tower and a central building.
It has four floors, except for the ground floor of the central block, where the gate's passageway is located.
The side facing west (away from the city) is called the field side, the side facing the city the city side.
The two towers and the central block appear as one construction when viewed from the city side.
On the field side, the three units can be clearly differentiated.
Here the two towers form semicircles which at their widest point extend 3.5 metres beyond the central block.
The towers have conical roofs; the central block has a pediment.
In 1950 the Holsten Gate again served as a museum, this time for municipal history.
Relics from historic Lübeck were presented, the development of medieval Lübeck was shown using models and pictures, and models of the ships of the Hanseatic League and the flagship Eagle of Lübeck were exhibited.
The two monumental iron statues of reclining lions placed in an area in front of the Holsten Gate designed by Harry Maasz date from 1823 and are unsigned.
They are attributed to Christian Daniel Rauch and may possibly have been made with the collaboration of a member of Rauch's workshop, Th. Kalide (1801-1863).
One lion is asleep, the other is awake and attentively regards the other.
They were originally placed in front of the house built in 1840 by the Lübeck merchant and art collector John Daniel Jacobj (1798-1847) at Große Petersgrube 18.
In 1873 they were placed in front of the Hotel Stadt Hamburg am Klingenberg until its destruction in 1942 during World War II, and only later in front of the Holsten Gate.
They are complemented by a bronze statue on the other side of the street, the Striding Antilope, by the sculptor Fritz Behn.

The Historical Old Town is the historic center of Lübeck is the largest German and from expansion memorial area of the UNESCO World Heritage . It is located on a 100-hectare, surrounded by streams and the remains of the ramparts densely built island, which was included in the list of world heritage in late 1987 by UNESCO. This historic island between the Trave and the Elbe-Lübeck Canal is from the remains of the medieval city wall with the preserved city gates Burgtor and Holstentor and the early modern fortificationsand docks of the 19th century. The view of the old town is dominated by the Seven Towers .
The street view is characterized by numerous gabled houses from different eras, including the brick Gothic . Behind the gabled houses are typically the Lübeck corridors and courtyards. Today, the old town as a city center is one of the ten administrative districts of Lübeck. In the predominantly smaller houses of the old town live about 12,000 inhabitants.
The reestablishment of the city followed after a great town fire under Henry the Lion in 1159 on the peninsula Bucu between Trave and Wakenitz named after the Slavic castle located there . The medieval city planning for the new merchant town on the north-south direction about two kilometers measuring area was conceivably simple and highly efficient. From the castle gate in the north, a superordinated road to the south was carried out. In addition to the marketplace , two more squares were created on this route, the Koberg and the Klingenberg , between which the north-south route runs on two parallel streets, the Königstraßein the east and the width street in the west. From these streets, the subordinate developments referred to as Rippenstraßen go west and east, so that rectangular building blocks emerged. The city was initially protected by the surrounding water and a city wall of brick. The city is historically divided into four quarters . Today, this structure of the city into neighborhoods, which was effective until the 19th century, is meaningless and the terms associated with it have also become largely meaningless.
In the early modern period around Lübeck around a fortification plant was created, which made it one of the largest fortifications in northern Europe. These fortifications have been dismantled since the beginning of the 19th century in the course of the softening to the extent that the development of the port of Lübeck, the advent of the railway and industrialization made it necessary. The biggest topographic intervention was the construction of the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, which opened in 1900. The old town of Lübeck was turned from a peninsula to the island and the Wakenitz was dammed in her bed today. The fortifications also fell victim to the expansion of the port of Lübeck. The Trave and the moat were just in the area of the Northern Wall Peninsulaconsiderably widened to gain harbors for the emerging steamships. Even today, however, individual bastions in the Lübeck ramparts are clearly visible, especially in the section between the former Mühlentor and the Holstentor. For details of the urban development of Lübeck since the abolition of the gate barrier in 1864 see also the main article urban development of Lübeck since 1864 .
Lübeck's old town is historically divided into four quarters . At times, the houses were counted under the influence of the French administration. After the Lübeck French time , however, the road-related house numbers were reintroduced. For the purposes of reconstruction planning and urban redevelopment, the city was divided into their blocks, which were numbered and provided with consecutive numbers for the whole of the Old Town Island. They can be seen in Lübeck's cityscape image, which records all parcels cadastrally and graphically displays the views of all the buildings at the time of admission. Some of these blocks, mostly located in the more central parts of the shopping district, were rebuilt after World War IIBlock farms , in which the rear parts of the land were combined to form a uniform plot for the delivery of the neighboring plots. These block patios belong since then to the city and are managed by this.
