The core of the Lower or Bamberg Gate dates back to the 14th century, the upper floor and the roof were added in 1618.

In the 14th century the city was surrounded by a curtain wall with three gates: the lower or Bamberg gate, the upper or Kronacher gate (both still preserved) and the Mühl or Coburg gate. Of the five defense towers, only the Red Tower remains today. A large part of the city wall, which was renewed several times in the 17th century, was demolished in the 19th century, mainly during the construction of the railway in 1844/45.
