The Sendlinger Tor at the Sendlinger Torplatz was constructed in 1308 within the scope of the enlargement of Munich by the Emperor Ludwig IV. It was the southern city gate of the second, larger fortification of Munich and now separates the historic city center from the area Isarvorstadt. The other two city gates of this second city wall that still exist are the Isartor and the Karlstor.
Originally, the appearance of the Sendlinger Tor was similar to that of the Isartor.
