There is also a legend regarding the city gate; in a siege in 1537 Count Franz von Sickingen died, but according to the legend the citizens of Landstuhl defended their city and gate fiercely.

There is, however, no historical proof of any grant, only the use of the gate on the city seal. | There is also a legend regarding the city gate; in a siege in 1537 Count Franz von Sickingen died, but according to the legend the citizens of Landstuhl defended their city and gate fiercely.
