10 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Keep the roof tips crisp
The two conical roofs end in small tips, with smaller points along the central roofline. Choose Print friendly for these features at small scales, or print larger with Full detail to retain them.
- Resolve the facade details
The windows and narrow decorative bands are shallow details on the towers and central block. A larger print and 0.12–0.16 mm layers help these features remain distinct.
- One piece with the ground
The Holstentor is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Holstentor takes the building color.
- File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Holstentor
Holstentor, also called the Holsten Gate, marks the western edge of Lübeck's old center. This Brick Gothic gate survives from the Hanseatic city's medieval defenses. Only two of Lübeck's city gates remain: Holstentor and the Citadel Gate. The surviving Holstentor was the Middle Holsten Gate, one of four successive gates that once formed the western approach to the city.
Red brick forms the building, which joins a central block to two round towers. Each tower has a cone-shaped roof, while a pediment tops the middle section. The passage runs through the central block at ground level. Windows decorate the side toward the city more richly; the outward-facing side has fewer, smaller windows and openings for weapons.
Two bands of terracotta tiles wrap around the gate. Their recurring designs include heraldic lilies, lattice patterns, and thistle leaves, interspersed with shields. Restoration work between 1865 and 1870 repaired these bands, and only three original tiles survive as museum specimens. Holstentor shares the UNESCO World Heritage designation awarded in 1987 to Lübeck's old city center.
About this model
The Holstentor is one of more than 4,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
