De Ponttor behoort tot \u00e9\u00e9n van de belangrijkste overgebleven stadspoorten van Aken. Het historische bouwwerk bestaat al sinds 1320 en maakte deel uit van de Gotische Mauer, de buitenste stadsmuren. De poort is rechthoekig en heeft drie verdiepingen. De naam van de Ponttor is afkomstig van het Latijnse woord ‘pont’, wat brug betekent. Vroeger lag er dan ook een brug over de gracht, maar dit kun je tegenwoordig niet meer zien. De historische bezienswaardigheid vormt een sterk contrast met de moderne caf\u00e9s en restaurants in de Pontviertel, die echt bekend staat als d\u00e9 uitgaanswijk van Aken. Tegenwoordig is de Ponttor de uitvalsbasis voor de padvinders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":582973,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tip_category":[3244],"class_list":["post-11751","tip","type-tip","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tip_category-bezienswaardigheden"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPonttor is een bezienswaardigheid in Aken<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"De Ponttor behoort tot een van de belangrijkste overgebleven stadspoorten van Aken.
