This fascinating gateway dates back to 170 AD and was built using iron spurs for military purposes.
Dating from 170 AD, this gate is still in a good state of preservation. It is a fascinating piece of Roman history. It had a military function and was built using iron spurs, without the use of mortar. It is the most important monument to the Roman era on German soil. Its name derives from the black patina deposited on its façade over the centuries. In 1028, the Greek monk Simeon walled himself up in the western part of the church as a hermitage. After his death in 1034, he was beatified.

très bien mis en valeur au centre de la place, cet édifice est remarquablement bien conservé et cela donne idée de l'épaisseur des murs...
