Inneres Weggistor

Ausfalltor des inneren Befestigungsringes der Grossstadt auf den Kirchweg zum Hof, nach Ksnacht und Zug. 1265 als Hoftor erstmals genannt.

Der Turm ?ber dem Tor hiess Schwarzturm, weil er von Rauch der benachbarten Bad- und Waschh?user geschw?rzt war.

1559 - 1623
Amtswohnung des Stadttrompeters. Zeitweise Gef?ngnis.
1862 abgebrochen. Das Fundament des Turmes ist im Bodenbelag markiert.

German-English translation:
Interior Weggis Gate

This was the exit gate of the city's inner defensive ring to the road to Hof, towards the towns of Ksnacht and Zug. First mentioned in 1265 as the Hof gate.

The tower above the gate was called the Black Tower because it was blackened by smoke from the adjacent bathing- and wash-houses.

1559 - 1623

Official residence of the city trumpeter (watchman). At times was used as a prison.

In 1862 the gate and tower were demolished. The foundation of the tower is marked on the surrounding ground.
