The Hallesches Tor was located in today's Berlin district Kreuzberg south of Mehringplatz.
Today, as a historic monument listed underground station on the site of the former gate bears the name Hallesches Tor.
The Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek and the nearby Jewish Museum contribute to the heavy visitor traffic in the area around the Hallesches Tor.
In the years 1876 to 1879, Heinrich Strack erected arcaded residential and commercial buildings and the Belle-Alliance-Brücke as a representative entrance to the city centre of Berlin instead of the gate.
After severe war damage and post-war demolition, the bridge was restored in the 1950s and 1980s and two groups of figures were reassembled.
