De Helpoort maakt deel uit van de eerste stadsmuur, die werd gebouwd nadat Hendrik I, Hertog van Brabant, in april 1229 daartoe toestemming had gegeven. Het is de enige stadspoort die in Maastricht nog aanwezig is en tevens de oudste stadspoort van Nederland. De poort is zo’n twee eeuwen als verdedigingswerk in gebruik geweest. Ze verloor deze functie toen de Nieuwstad, het gebied ten zuiden van de poort, werd omwald (2e helft 15e eeuw). Na die tijd is de poort nog voor diverse doeleinden gebruikt: vergaderplaats van de lakenberijders of volders, tuighuis, kruitmagazijn en woning. Gastheren en -vrouwen zijn aanwezig om uitleg te geven en vragen te beantwoorden.

Nadat Maastricht in de dertiende eeuw stadsrechten had verworven verrezen hier de eerste stadsmuren. Het ommuurde deel van de stad bleek al snel te klein en nog geen honderd jaar later kwam er een tweede ommuring om de stad te staan. Een groot deel van de stadsmuren zijn nog in goede staat en nog steeds te bezichtigen. In de zestiende eeuw werden de stadsmuren uitgebreid met het rondeel de Vijf Koppen en het rondeel Haat en Nijt dit wordt door sommige ook wel de derde stadsmuur genoemd. De Jekertoren behoort net als de Helpoort tot de best bewaarde delen van de oude ommuring. Beiden zijn in het begin van de vorige eeuw in zijn geheel gerestaureerd. Langs de oude stadsmuren van Maastricht kan men een schitterende wandeling maken die je geheel door het oude centrum van de stuurt.

Maastricht Ancient Fortification Sites Maastricht
As a key meeting point for European cultures and trading routes, Maastricht for millennia had been the site of many battles. Once known as the "Bulwark of the Netherlands", the city earned its reputation thanks to the impenetrable defenses that lasted through multiple attacks on its strategic position.
The very first fortifications in Maastricht appeared around the 1200s. Some of them are still in place today, wholly or partially, seamlessly merged with the structures of later ages, and making pleasant places to walk around. Among them are such prominent sites as:
Fort St. Pieter (Saint Peter's Fortress) – a fantastic looking hexagonal construction, part of the defense works that protected the city during the 18th-19th centuries; full of tunnels and caves, while imposing, it only ever saw a single battle; a visit here brings you back to older times, where soldiers and musketeers roamed the hallways;
Waldeck Park Casemates – these ancient marlstone mines have more than 20,000 passages decorated with generations of graffiti. During WWII these quarry tunnels were converted into an air raid shelter, but were never used;
Helpoort (Hell's Gate) – one of the iconic monuments that give Maastricht its special atmosphere; forms part of the Old Town wall built in the 13th century. This was one of the main entrances to Maastricht and today is the oldest Dutch city gate still standing.

Excerpt from www.360cities.net: Helpoort, or Hell's Gate, is the oldest city gate in the country. It got its name due to the fact that prisoners were kept in its tower. Construction of the gate, commissioned by Henry I, began in 1229; it is a part of the First City Walls and served as the southeastern entrance to the city. When the Second City Walls were constructed in the 15th century, the gate was no longer needed as an entrance to the city. Over the years, it served as a residence, storage space and workshop. Today the gate houses a museum dedicated to the history of Maastricht's fortifications.

Metz (57)
Metz is a French commune located in the department of Moselle, in Lorraine. Prefecture of the department, it is part, since January 1, 2016, of the administrative region Grand Est, of which it hosts the plenary assemblies. Metz and its surroundings, which were part of the Trois-Évêchés from 1552 to 1790, were landlocked between the Duchy of Luxembourg (until 1659), ducal Lorraine and the Duchy of Bar until 1766. was from 19742 to 2015 the capital of the Lorraine region.
A city known since pre-Roman antiquity, the Celtic oppidum of Mediomatrics, known by the Latin name of Divodurum Mediomatricorum, then as Mettis, became the capital of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia in the sixth century AD. A trading city of the Carolingian Empire, Metz is the seat of a powerful bishopric, and an important trading and banking city of the Holy Roman Empire. Coveted by its neighbors (and debtors) then by the kingdom of France, Metz became a protectorate and a French stronghold in the 16th century, before being annexed by the German Empire at the end of the 19th century (Alsace-Moselle). Once again French after the First World War, it was de facto annexed by the Third Reich from 1940 to 1944.
The city presents an important architectural diversity, from antiquity to the 20th century, rich in a strong medieval and classical heritage, of French and Germanic influence, in particular in the imperial district, fitted out during the annexation of Alsace- Lorraine, representative of Wilhelmian architecture. The Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains church in the town center is one of the oldest churches in the world, and the oldest church in France.
At the last census of 2019, Metz had 118,489 inhabitants, making it the most populated municipality in Lorraine and the third in the Grand Est. Its inhabitants are called Messins.

The Porte des Allemands (Germans' Gate) is a city gate of the French city of Metz. The gate is named after the nearby Hospital of the Teutonic Knights. On the city side, the gate consists of two narrow round towers that were built in 1230, which are similar in architectural style to the almost equally old Helpoort in Maastricht. These towers are connected by a bridge over the Seille to a crenellated tower built in 1445. A gallery of arches was added to the bridge in 1480.
In the mid-17th century, the defenses of Metz were renewed by the French fortification engineers Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban and Louis de Cormontaigne. The Porte des Allemands was included in this without modifications. During World War II, the gate was damaged by artillery fire. After the war, the gate was rebuilt and since the renovation in 1968, the gate is passable again for pedestrians.
