Frankfurter Tor
Frankfurter Tor, is a large square in the inner-city Friedrichshain locality of Berlin.
The previously unnamed square received the name Frankfurter Tor on 8 November 1957 in the course of its reconstruction after World War II. The designation recalls both the nearby original location of the city gate that once provided access to the road to the city of Frankfurt.
The prominent twin towers on the western side of the square, significant examples of the Stalinist architectural style, were built between 1953 and 1956 as part of the Stalinallee ensemble according to plans by Hermann Henselmann.
