About this motif
In the 11th century the monk Simeon lived as a hermit in the Porta Nigra. After his death a double church was built here.
Sterzbach's small landscape sheet shows the gate with its dark masonry and round arches, light-coloured houses on the right and clouds above. About 5 x 7 cm on 13 x 18 cm, black and white, coloured or framed.
