Vintage Historic Photograph
In 1240, Metz city get new surrounding wall, raised on the old Gallo-Roman wall. The porte des Allemands ("Germans' gate") is the only vestige of that medieval wall! Raised across the river Seille, it looks like a real tiny stronghold! But where does this name come from, Allemands? Because near the gate was a house which belonged to German Teutonic knights, raised in 1230 and destroyed 23 years later by emperor Charles the Fifth's troops.
