In 1684 this gate was provided with a gatehouse and called Shepherd's House. Shepherd's house because shepherd families lived in it. From this developed the name "Hirtentor", which is still naturalized to this day. This is a two-story gatehouse with a hipped roof, five to an axis, and timber framing.
In 1976/77 the municipality of Eggolsheim completely renovated the shepherd's gate and it received its current appearance.
The Hirtentor has been managed since 1988.
