Löpsinger Gate and City Wall Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Löpsinger Gate was completed in 1379 and originally served as a defensive structure in the north of the city. Today, the gate tower houses the City Wall Museum, which opened in 1987 and documents the history of Nördlingen's city fortifications on six floors.

The Deininger Gate looks somewhat similar to the Löpsinger Gate.
In front of the gate, you can still see the earlier course of the outer fortifications on the plan.

Use one of the steps to the city wall and walk around Nördlingen's old town on the city wall circular path. An unforgettable experience.

Nördlingen City Wall

Highlight • Monument

Walk around Nördlingen on the city wall. You get a lot of insights into the city. Several climbs, not only on the towers, offer the opportunity to explore the city center or to visit one of the many restaurants and cafes. An exciting place for children too!

Nördlingen City Wall Walk

Highlight • Historical Site

If you want to wander around the city on the city wall, you will find the stairs at one of the gates. On top of the preserved city wall from 1327, an approximately 2.7 km long circular path leads around the old town of Nördlingen. The city gates are named after the places outside the city. The towns of Baldingen, Löpsingen, Deiningen and Reimlingen have given four gates their names. Only the fifth, the Berger Tor, is not named after a place, but after a mountain, the Friedhofsberg.

The Baldinger Gate looks a bit crippled compared to the other gates, which is because the tower has collapsed. 🤷‍♂️

Nördlingen City Wall

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

Nördlingen is surrounded by Germany's only completely preserved and fully accessible city wall. A walk on the 2.7-kilometer-long defense system offers a wonderful view of the medieval streets. If you climb the "Daniel" - the bell tower of the late Gothic St. George's Church - you have a wonderful panoramic view of the city and the Ries, a meteorite crater that was formed about 14.5 million years ago. To this day, the tower keeper on the "Daniel" calls out his watchman's call "So G’sell so" over the city throughout the year.
