However, the current building is not the medieval city gate, but a customs gate that was built between 1811 and 1815 in the classicist style.

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.
