[Marker text translated into English, more or less:]
The gatehouse with an arched passageway and a flanking tower projecting laterally into the inner moat was built by Bishop Rudolf von Scherenberg about 1472 as a reinforcement to the inner gate. Expanded by Bishop Julius Echter in 1597, the Gate fell victim to the pickaxe in 1871.
