German-English translation:
Lower Gate
or Basel Gate

This city gate with defensive tower guards the exit road towards Basel. First mentioned in 1297, and outfitted with a barbican, 1743-1744, which was demolished in 1862. In the immediate vicinity were the toll house, the Jewish Tower (demolished in 1771), the Herrenkeller (Lords Cellar), and the armory (now the Historical Museum). The 300 meter long "Litzi" wall ran southwards as part of the city fortifications. The "Stags" moat ran along the wall as fas as the tower, and was filled in, 1856-1858.
