The Gothic Hlebnica Gate is a prime example of the Gdań sk City Gate. The coat of arms (without a crown) preserved on the facade of the gate is a valuable iconographic example of Gdansk heraldry. This emblem was adopted during the reign of the Teutonic Order (two crosses on the shield). The crown was placed on the coat of arms only in 1457. The gate is located on the eastern end, parallel to the line of the Motł awa embankment, in the densely populated area of Dł ugi Pobrzeze Street to the south.→
