    The Forchheimer Tor was reduced to ashes in a devastating fire in 1615 and later rebuilt.
    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.

    The Shepherd's Gate is in the middle of town. Beautiful to look at.
