Sendlinger Tor is one of three, next to Karlstor and Isartor, preserved Gothic city gates - the remains of the medieval fortifications of Munich. Originally, via Sendlinger Tor led the trade route to Innsbruck, and then to Italy. The current Sendlinger Straße is one of Munich's oldest shopping streets, full of small family shops.
Sendlinger Tor was one of the important elements of the defensive walls, created around 1300 as part of the construction of new fortifications in the years 1285–1347. The undertaking was associated with a rapid increase in the number of inhabitants - King Ludwig IV of Bavaria commissioned the expansion of the city and surrounding it with new walls.
In 1860, when the gate lost its defensive function, Arnold Zenetti renovated it and saved it from demolition. Sendlinger Tor owes its current appearance to the reconstruction of 1906, during which the original entrances to the gate were replaced by a central arch to allow traffic.
