Das Ratinger Tor ist das letzterbaute und einzig noch vorhandene Stadttor der ursprünglichen Stadt Düsseldorf. Bei dem heutigen Bau handelt es sich jedoch nicht um das mittelalterliche Stadttor, sondern um ein Zolltor, das zwischen 1811 und 1815 im klassizistischen Stil errichtet wurde. Die Notwendigkeit eines Neubaus ergab sich aus der im Friedensvertrag von Lunéville festgelegten Schleifung der Festungswerke, der das alte Tor zum Opfer fiel. Das neue Ratinger Tor wurde um rund 115 m nach Osten verschoben, was die Verlängerung der Ratinger Straße um 60 m sowie die Anlage eines Boulevards, der heutigen Heinrich-Heine-Allee, ermöglichte.
