The gable of the house at Kröpeliner Str. 82 (from 1493) is one of the most important examples of Late Gothic gable design in Rostock. It is distinguished by an extremely elaborate design with alternating layers of glazed and unglazed bricks as well as bricks with relief decoration. Today, this building houses the municipal library.

Standing 54 metres high, the Kröpeliner Tor is the tallest of Rostock’s numerous city gates. It was built in the 13th and 14th centuries as part of the medieval defences. The four gables with blind arches in front of the intersecting roof with a ridge turret still characterise the appearance today.
