    The gatehouse in Hesse's Heusenstamm is a 1764 built, triumphal arch-like building and stands at the southern entrance to the old town. It was built by Count Eugene Erwein von Schönborn to commemorate the seven-day visit of the designated German Emperor, Joseph II as a city gate.

    The gatehouse in Heusenstamm is a significant historical monument in Hesse and a landmark of the town of Heusenstamm. It was built to commemorate the visit of Emperor Franz I and his son, the designated Emperor Joseph II, in 1764.
    It is currently in poor condition and urgently needs restoration, especially its interior. It should be returned to appropriate public use.
