One of the city gates in the well-preserved city wall. Built as a double gate. Worth seeing.

Even in the evening, with lots of snow, there is a worthwhile view of the Iphofen Plague Gate.

Location: In the passage of the Einersheim Gate, behind the northern gate wing in front of the northern wall. Legend: During the Thirty Years' War, Swedish troops entered the town through the Einersheim Gate in 1632. A councilman tried to plead for mercy for the town and its inhabitants, but was stabbed by a mercenary. The cross was erected on the spot where he died.
