This is one of my favorite spots on the map. The mountainrange is dividing a big part of the north from southern region called Westphalia. Only one river breaks through it allowing for an easy way across the mountains. The citys name at that spot is Porta Westfalica which is Latin and means "gate to Westphalia". I think this visualization illustrates the reason behind the name very well.
