The Frauentor was the main gate in the southeast of the Nuremberg city wall. The Frauentorturm is one of the four striking round main towers of the Nuremberg city fortifications, its old name is "Blau Q". The Frauentor was named after the Klarakloster behind it. Through the gate you could leave the city in the direction of Regensburg and other places in the southeast. Since payments to the gate blocker have been documented since 1386, the construction of the gate must have been completed by this year at the latest. It replaced the inner women’s gate of the penultimate city wall, which was demolished in 1498 when the toll hall was built. In 1558, the gate tower at that time was converted by Jörg Unger into the round tower still standing today and a gate was built next to the tower. After the construction of the royal gate in 1849, only the traffic outside the city ran through the Frauentor. Today, the Frauentor is reserved for pedestrians, and the Nuremberg craftsmen’s yard was set up in the gate’s armory. A sculpture garden was opened in the kennel between the Frauentor and Sterntor in 2004
