Description

The Walkenbrückentor is the last surviving of the former six city gates of the former Coesfeld city wall. It is located on Mühlenplatz directly at the entrance of the Berkel into the city, where the flood is diverted into the city moat on the promenade at a barrage.
The gate probably dates back to the first half of the 14th century. The oldest currently known reference to the building comes from a document dated September 13, 1339. In the case of the East Gate, which was mentioned as early as 1258, it is unclear whether it is the Walkenbrücken or the Münstertor. In its eventful history, the gate has been used as a prison, torture chamber, customs building, storage room and for residential purposes. In 1945 it was badly damaged by a bomb hit, but after the Second World War it was rebuilt in terms of its appearance.
