the building:
At the end of the Kröpeliner Straße stands the Kröpelin
Gate, a western, 54-metre-high gate on the important trade route from
Lübeck and Wismar. The two square lower storeys, topped by a double
indented frieze, date from the end of the 13th century. The upper
storeys from the 14th century are constructed of lighter brick. The
tower is subdivided in the middle by a tracery frieze, and the city face
is enlivened by large-scale tracery openings. In the 1960s it was
converted into a museum.
