The Ratinger Tor is the last and only remaining city gate of the original city of Düsseldorf. However, the current building is not the medieval city gate, but a customs gate built between 1811 and 1815 in the classicist style. The need for a new building arose from the demolition of the fortifications stipulated in the Treaty of Lunéville, to which the old gate fell victim. The new Ratinger Tor was moved by about 115 m to the east, which made it possible to extend Ratinger Straße by 60 m and to create a boulevard, today's Heinrich-Heine-Allee.
