Sendlinger Tor

SENDLINGER TOR: The Sendlinger Tor used to be the gateway to rolling hills, farms and villages. Now it’s the gateway to a trendy cultural centre and a thriving gay scene. The times, they are a’changin.

POINT OF ENTRY: The Sendling Gate connects to Munich's south. Photo by Allie_Caulfield
The gate marks the southern tip of the Altstadt and connects to the Isarvorstadt and Glockenbachviertel. Leading up north is the shopaholics' dream-street Sendlinger Strasse.

The gateway was built in 1813 as part of the second effort to build a wall around medieval Munich.
It used to have a large, central tower which was done away with in 1808.
Two smaller towers flanking a wide archway remain. There’s a few interesting shops built into the old city walls.
