Ingolstadt is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. Getting around Ingolstadt is easiest by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus, all covered by the Deutschlandticket that is valid on local and regional transport across Bayern and beyond; parking in city centres is scarce and either paid or limited by Parkscheibe, so public transport or a bike is usually quicker than driving.

So cool to drive through a 700 year old gate

Big gate

Bill Lin 11 months ago

The Kreuztor, built in 1385, is the western gateway to the medieval city center of Ingolstadt. The tower's name is derived from the leper house belonging to the Church of the Holy Cross (Kirche zum heiligen Kreuz), which stood to the west of the city walls until its destruction in the Schmalkaldic War in 1546. Driving your car passing through the Cross Gate, both during day and night time, will give you the feeling of medieval period.

Kreuztor is one of the most iconic landmarks in Ingolstadt and definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring the city. This medieval gate, built in the 14th century, is beautifully preserved and serves as a reminder of the city’s rich history. The red brick architecture and the distinctive towers make it a perfect spot for photos – especially at sunset when the light brings out the warm tones of the walls. The area around Kreuztor is lively, with many cafés, restaurants, and small shops nearby. It’s a great place to take a walk, grab a coffee, and soak up the atmosphere of the old town. The structure itself is not large, but it’s incredibly picturesque and full of charm. It’s also interesting to see how the old and modern parts of the city blend here – the gate stands proudly at the entrance to the pedestrian zone, symbolizing Ingolstadt’s heritage. A small historical plaque provides some background information, which helps appreciate the site even more. While the gate itself doesn’t take long to visit, it’s the overall surroundings that make the experience memorable. If you’re in Ingolstadt, don’t miss a quick stop here – it’s a great spot to start or end your city walk.

The seven-tower Kreuztor is part of the second Ingolstadt city wall built in 1363 . It is the only one of the original four main gates Feldkirchnertor , Hardertor , Kreuztor and Donautor that has been preserved. The name of the gate is derived from the former leper house to the west of the city, the Holy Cross.
