The name “Klingentorbastei” translates to “Blade Gate Bastion”, which paints a vivid picture of its historical significance. The structure was built during Rothenburg’s expansion in the 14th century as part of its defensive system against potential invaders. It served as one end of a protective barrier for this thriving trade center.
Klingentorbastei has stood firm through wars and weathering, bearing witness to centuries of history. Its robust construction played a crucial role in safeguarding Rothenburg from various invasions over time, especially during turbulent periods such as the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648).
