on the north side of the gate are two plaques. the left one shows the royal coat of arms of king christian iv, 1577-1648 and the latin words: „regna firmat pietas“ — piety strengthens the realms. the right one shows the coat of arms of flensburg with the german words: „friede ernährt, unfrieden verzehrt“ — peace nurtures, strife devours. there is also a date- 1767. this means that the town gate was restored in the time of christian vii, 1749-1808.
