| | | 2. Dingolshäuser Gate Marker - wide view from the southeast | | The marker is just barely visible here, to the immediate right of the "!" sign, mounted on the low wall. The marker is one of a series of historical markers put up since 2009 by the local historical society. The markers are printed on translucent plexiglass, which has the advantage of being unobtrusive, but has the disadvantage of being difficult to spot from a distance. | | |

| | | 4. View north along the city wall from the Dingolshäuser Gate | | Gerolzhofen has two partially-preserved sets of city walls, an inner- and an outer-wall, both of which ring the city. This is the outer wall, dating from the middle of the 15th Century. | | |

| | | 5. Dingolshäuser Gate city wall - decorative element | | Just a few steps north of the marker is this decorative stone figure, set in the city wall. The marker location is a good starting point to explore the city walls, as a greenway extends both north and south from this point, offering a number of interesting things to see. | | |
