The New Emmeram Gate is one of the five surviving city gates of the medieval city fortifications of Regensburg, built around 1320. The well-preserved New Emmeram Gate replaced the Old Emmeram Gate of the Arnulfine City Wall built around 920, which was located at the southern end of the Obere Bachgasse further northeast at the curve of the city wall between Obermünster and Sankt Emmeram Monastery. Until 1907, when the neighbouring Helenentor was built and Helenenstraße was laid out, the Emmeramer Tor was an important access point for the population of Regensburg to the neighbouring farming village of Kumpfmühl, where vegetables were grown and flour was produced. Without this gateway, the village of Kumpfmühl would only have been accessible to the townspeople in a roundabout way, e.g. via the Jakobstor. In the 18th century, the gate offered easy access to the then newly created parks of Fürst-Anselm-Allee.
