Sterntor (Stargate), Bonn

The original Stargate of Bonn was built in 1244. It was part of the city's defensive walls. The current Stargate was erected in a different location than the first stargate, which was demolished in 1898 to ease traffic. The 1900 gate is, in effect, a memorial to the first Stargate.

The 1900 Stargate consists partially of materials and structures salvaged from the first Stargate. It was built on the north side of the Bottler Square. It includes parts of the city wall and an ancient half-tower. There is a corner turret and an enclosing crenelated wreath. The barrel vault is from the 17th century.

The outer archway holds two portraits from 1650: The Crucified Jesus with Mary and St John, and The Mother of God with Seven Sorrows. The Stargate of 1900 is in the list of monuments of "former part of the medieval town fortification."
