Gate of Ashes

Gate of Ashes

The Gate of Ashes (in German "Aeschentor") is a former city gate in the ancient city walls of Basel, Switzerland. It was pulled down in 1861 along with three other gateways and the city walls.

The derivation of the name "Aeschen" is not definitely proven. It may come either from the word "Asche" (German for ash) or from the word "Esche" (German for ash tree); in fact both German words have the same English translation.
