    The Hersbrucker Tor is one of the two remaining city gates of Lauf an der Pegnitz and marks the eastern end of the historic market square. The gate was originally built in the 15th century as part of the town fortifications, shortly after Lauf was elevated to a city in 1355 by Emperor Charles IV. In its current form, the structure essentially dates from 1476, as inscriptions also indicate.
