"fest in rot" means very free translated as much as "loyality to red" "forever in red" "always in red" "red rules..." I don`t know how to translate it exactly, but "fest" was a common word in that times in germany, remember "in Treue fest" (very often used) which means "iron loyality (to the german fatherland and the emperor...)"
would be interesting to see the reverse if there are any marks - swedish or german...

My initial reaction is that it's a fasching/society medal and the location would be determined by the identity of the gate or arms on the obverse.
Perhaps the "three crowns" are just bad representations of three figures atop the gate. If you look at a photo of the Brandenburg Gate, you'll see a similar pattern (although Brandenburg Gate has six columns and the figures on top are spread out more).
