insieme all'Isartor ed al Karlstor è una delle antiche porte di accesso di Monaco di Baviera.
Della porta si fa menzione per la prima volta in un documento datato 1318. Insieme alle altre porte faceva parte delle fortificazioni della città, erette tra il 1285 ed il 1347, e doveva il suo nome alla località di Sendling, oggi facente parte del nucleo urbano di Monaco. Al centro della porta vi era un'imponente struttura, demolita nel 1808. La torre ottagonale, risalente al XVI secolo, veniva usata come prigione. Nel 1906, a causa dell'aumento del traffico, si ricavò un unico passaggio dalle tre arcate centrali, mentre sotto le torri laterali vennero creati due passaggi pedonali.

Eigentlich wollte ich nur mal nachsehen, ob diese Treppe am vermuteten Ort zu finden ist… die Tür war allerdings offen :)
The Isartor at the Isartorplatz in Munich is one of four main gates of the medieval city wall. It served as a fortification for the defence and is the most easterly of Munich's three remaining gothic town gates. The gate is located close to the Isar and was named after the river. Wikipedia
Marienplatz (plaza) ha estado en el centro de la ciudad desde que Múnich fue fundada por Enrique el León en 1158. Era el punto en el que se encontraban todas las calles más importantes de la nueva ciudad y durante siglos fue el centro de la vida de Múnich. Y aún hoy, entre Isartor y Karlsplatz-Stachus, Odeonsplatz y Sendlinger Tor, Marienplatz es un lugar de encuentro popular, el inicio de la zona peatonal y el lugar desde el que se miden las distancias en la ciudad.
Die ursprünglich im freien stehende „Heilige Stiege“ ist der Stiege aus der Scala Santa des Lateran in Rom nachempfunden. Sie wurde später umbaut und 1726 die Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche mit der Heiliggrabkapelle davorgesetz.
The “Holy Stairs" at Bad Toelz was modeled from the Scala Santa oft the Lateran in Rome. In 1726 the „Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche“ with the Holy grave Chapel was built in Front of the Holy Stairs.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Karlstor in Munich (called Neuhauser Tor until 1791) is one of what used to be Munich's famed city wall from the medieval ages till late into the 18th century. It served as a major defensive fortification and checkpoint.
It is located at the western end of Neuhauser Straße.
The building is the westernmost of three remaining gothic town gates out of originally five. The other two are Isartor in the east (the only one that is still complete in its basic structure) and Sendlinger Tor in the south-west. Missing nowadays, after the whole fortification system had to be laid down on prince-electoral order at the turn from the 18th to the 19th century, are Angertor in the south and Schwabinger Tor in the north, as well as all "minor" or side gates and the entire double walls.
Between 1285 and 1347 the existing first town walls were supplemented with a new, second, double-ring fortification for and around fast-growing Munich, significantly extending the populated and protected area.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Isartor at the Isartorplatz in Munich is one of four main gates of the medieval city wall. It served as a fortification for the defence and is the most easterly of Munich's three remaining gothic town gates (Isartor, Sendlinger Tor and Karlstor). The gate (German: Tor) is located close to the Isar and was named after the river.
Architecture
The Isartor was constructed in 1337 within the scope of the enlargement of Munich and the construction of the second city wall between 1285 and 1337 which was completed under the Emperor Louis IV. The gate first consisted of a 40 meter high main gate tower. Only with the construction of the moat wall of the gate tower the two flanking side towers were added and served as barbican. The Isartor is today the only medieval gate in Munich which has conserved its medium main tower and the restoration in 1833-35 by Friedrich von Gärtner has recreated the dimensions and appearance close to the original structure. The frescos, created in 1835 by Bernhard von Neher, depict the victorious return of Emperor Louis after the Battle of Mühldorf in 1322.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Sendlinger Tor (translated: Sendling Gate) is a city gate at the southern extremity of the historic old town area of Munich. It served as a fortification for the defence and is one of Munich's three remaining gothic town gates (the other two being the Isartor and the Karlstor).
The Sendlinger Tor (located at Sendlinger Str 49) lies at the southern end of Sendlingerstrasse, the north-south highway through Munich's old town. Thus separates the Sendlinger Tor of the old city from the Isar suburb. The Sendlinger Tor is at an altitude of 525 metres (1,722 ft) above sea level.
As part of the great urban expansion by Ludwig the Bavarian (from 1285 to 1337), a second city wall with four town gates was built, of which Sendlinger Tor was one. In 1318, Sendlinger Tor was first mentioned as a starting point for the road to Italy, but was probably existing earlier.
Originally there was only the distinctive central tower gate (typical of the Munich city gates of the time). In 1420 that was supplemented by the two flanking towers, which were required to properly terminate the end of the outer city wall.
In 1808 the central tower was demolished. In 1860 a restoration of the two remaining Medieval flanking towers and the wall with three arches. In 1906, these original three arches were replaced by the one large single arch.
In the Second World War, the gate was barely damaged. It was refurbished in the 1980s. On the Sendlinger Tor, a remnant of the old city wall can still be seen, which previously went up the Herzog-Wilhelm-Str.
Am Turm des Isartores, gibt es zwei Uhren. Jene, die zum Isartorplatz schaut, läuft richtig (rechtes Bild) Die Uhr in Richtung Tal, läuft absichtlich spiegelverkehrt. Zu verdanken ist das dem im Isartor befindlichen "Valentin Karlstadt Musäum", welches zahlreiche Fundstücke der beliebten Münchner Komiker aufbewahrt.

The Isartor has a counter running clock
The Isartor was constructed in 1337 within the scope of the enlargement of Munich and the construction of the second city wall between 1285 acounter running clocknd 1337 which was completed under the Emperor Louis IV. The gate first consisted of a 40-meter-high maingate tower. Only with the construction of the moat wall of the gate tower the two flanking side towers were added and served as barbican. The Isartor is today the only medieval gate in Munich which has conserved its medium main tower and the restoration in 1833-35 by Friedrich von Gärtner has recreated the dimensions and appearance close to the original structure. The frescos, created in 1835 by Bernhard von Neher, depict the victorious return of Emperor Louis after the Battle of Mühldorf in 1322.
The Isartor today houses a humorous museum which is dedicated to the comedian and actor Karl Valentin. A café for visitors has been integrated.
The Isartortheater, which produced Singspiele and spoken plays in the early 19th century, was destroyed in the Second World War. After being heavily damaged by shelling, the medieval gate was rebuilt.
