"The city gate in Luebeck, Germany was built between 1464 and 1478 along the lines of Dutch models. Its purpose served both as a form of defence and as a form of prestige. Above the round-arched gateway entrance of the twin-towered construction, the inscription CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX (unity at home, peace abroad) can clearly be seen in golden letters."

I had posted a photo of this gate few years ago but not this particular photo. Please see on full screen for details.
