... Schottentor Gate, with the Schottengasse Alley in the background, corner of Schottensteig. Newly erected in 1839, the gate was unable to cope with the amount of traffic passing through it from the start. Referring to its five passages it was also known as the "Fünf-Torheiten-Tor" ("Five-Folly-Gate").
