Vögelein’s Gate

In this place the so called “Upper Gate” was taken down in 1827/28. Eight cartloads of building stones were delivered for the “4 columns at the New Gate”.

The statue of Virgin Mary was found in the mud of the river Main and put up outside the New Gate in the same year. The late-medieval piece of art had probably fallen victim to an iconoclasm. The original statue is now in the Museum Stadt Miltenberg.
