It is located in central Kreuzberg. The area has a bad reputation for the relatively high, mainly drug-related crime rate, instances of which have recently[when?] become quite rare in most other parts of the district[citation needed]. The original Kottbusser Tor was a southern city gate of Berlin; the road through the gate led via the Neukölln suburb to the town of Cottbus.
Trivia - K and missing h (Cotbusser Thor) rely to a language reform at begin of 20th century. See e.g., Stralauer T(h)or, or Cölln and Neukölln.
