About this motif
The Steintor is the oldest building in Wittenberge and the last remnant of the medieval town fortifications. Its stepped gable is a fine example of northern German brick Gothic.
Behrens' miniature shows the gate tower with its stepped gable and blind arches, small white houses on the left and a neighbouring building on the right. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
