Kremper Tor stands as the sole survivor of Neustadt in Holstein's medieval fortifications and is a landmark of the Lübeck Bay. Originally a narrow bottleneck for traffic, this historic gate has been transformed into the zeiTTor Museum, where visitors can explore the region's past. The structure is notable for its stepped gable, added in 1907, and a curious dog paw print embedded in the masonry at eye level by its original builders. Whether you are visiting for the museum exhibits or to admire the festive decorations during the Christmas season, it offers a charming look into the town's heritage.
