The Kempter Gate is a city gate in the Upper Swabian city of Memmingen. The gate is located on the south side of the old town in the old Wegbach settlement. A section of the original battlement of the Hohe Wacht has been preserved near the gate. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Soldiers' Tower and the Red Barracks. Of all the gates of the second city expansion, only the Kempter Gate has retained its original shape. The narrow, high gate has a gable roof. On the south side and on the inside, it has a clock in the gable, flanked by the imperial eagle and the city coat of arms. On a bulge on the outside, the double city coat of arms frames a small window. The inside, with the exception of the clock, is painted pink. The name is a reference to the trade relations with the neighboring city of Kempten. In the 14th century, the so-called Wegbach settlement was incorporated into the city fortifications. The city wall, which still exists in large parts today, was built around 1390 and the Kempter Gate was completed as the southern exit in 1395. The weavers, tanners and the impure quarter with the executioner and whorehouse who lived there were protected by a massive bulwark. In the long series of city sieges and city captures, the troops preferred to attack from the west, because the Kempter Gate was difficult to capture due to the high, massive bulwarks in front of the gate, the flank protection of the Hohe Wacht and the deep moat. As a result, it was never destroyed. Along with the Ulm Gate, it has the typical Swabian tall, slender and yet massive gabled construction of the time. In the Middle Ages, those sentenced to death were led through this gate to the Galgenberg outside the city gates. They were accompanied by the shrill sound of the pauper's bell of St. Martin. From the middle to the end of the 19th century, many parts of the city wall were demolished, partly at the request of the city's population, partly because of the construction of the railway. After the Notzentor disappeared in 1863, the southern part of the city also wanted to be freed from the narrow passage of the Kempter Gate. However, the district government in Augsburg prohibited the demolition, but allowed a breach in the wall next to the gate. In 1893, this second gate entrance was created to the right of the gate in order to "accommodate the increasing traffic on this side of the city". Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kempter_Tor

The Memmingen City Theater, also known as the Theaterstadel, is a municipal theater building in the Upper Swabian city of Memmingen. The building, which formerly belonged to the Augustinian monastery, has been used as a theater since 1802. Today it is the headquarters of the State Theater of Swabia. The building is centrally located in the southern old town of Memmingen between the Weinmarkt and Schrannenplatz. In front of the building is the Theaterplatz, the building has the address Theaterplatz 4–6. The building originally housed the St. Elisabeth nunnery. The Augustinian monastery outside the city of Memmingen arose from a community of women who had joined together according to the rule of the third order of St. Francis to care for the poor and the sick. The St. Elisabeth Monastery, first mentioned in 1258, was a simple but large gabled building in a north-south direction with a small monastery church (today's theater foyer) at right angles to it. Around 1380, the monastery was integrated into the city as part of the city's expansion. As part of the renovations and new buildings on the monastery church, the three-wing cloister with cross-ribbed vaults was built on the south side of the monastery church between 1472 and 1475. The vault keystone in the 3rd bay with the master stonemason's mark proves that the cloister was completed in 1475. The cloister can now be entered through the theater foyer. It contains frescoes by the artist Hans Strigel the Younger. The St. Elisabeth Monastery was the first Memmingen monastery to be secularized in 1529 as part of the Reformation. The monastery building became the property of the Lower Hospital and underwent various changes in use, probably with extensive structural changes. Initially, the imperial city's almshouse was located here, before the Latin school moved in in 1572. When this school closed after the mediatization of the imperial city of Memmingen in 1802, the former monastery building became a primary school ("Elsbethenschule"). The monastery church was converted into a tithe barn and residential building in 1610. After another renovation in 1620, the former monastery church was used as the imperial city's armory until 1802. In 1802, the "Dramatic Lovers' Society" acquired the building and built a theater in it, today's city theater. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadttheater_Memmingen
