Exit at the Möllenvogtei

The exit at the Möllenvogtei is the only surviving medieval city gate in the city of Magdeburg.
The gate, which is often referred to today only as the city gate, city gate Möllenvogtei or city gate Domplatz 1, is a listed building was built in 1493, according to other sources only in 1495, in the late Gothic period between the historic half-timbered house Remtergang 1 and the Alte Möllenvogtei as part of the medieval city fortifications. Previously, the Hebbenstrid stood on the site of the Hebbenstrid, a tower-like building with a gate passage, which was demolished in 1492. Located in the immediate vicinity of the choir of Magdeburg Cathedral in Magdeburg's old town, it served the archbishops and later the administrators as a connection between the cathedral square to the west and the bank of the Elbe to the east of the gate. In particular, this gave access to the archbishop's Elbe harbour, which was established in 1377 but described as dilapidated as early as 1520. In addition, the gate led to a path that led outside the city fortifications along the Elbe and also to the Berge monastery to the south.
