Most were demolished between 1806 and 1812 when the old city walls were torn down.
Today the tower is one of Frankfurt’s most famous landmarks.
Fortification of Neustadt began during the middle of the 14th century and took over one hundred years to complete.
The cornerstone for the original gate tower was laid on 11 October 1349.
This was replaced by the Eschenheimer Turm built between 1426 and 1428.
