The "Entringer Tor" was part of a game fence that protected the fields from game from the Schönbuch. This fence can be seen as a dotted line on Kieser's forest map from 1683.

Hunting and trapping by farmers was punished as poaching. Ultimately, the only option left for the farmers was to build a game fence.
