The Shepherd's Gate probably dates from 1588. It is an L-shaped building with a ground floor made of quarry stone masonry and a half-timbered upper floor. Two gate passages lead through its two legs that meet at right angles, one into Obere Hauptstrasse and the other into Plangasse.

In 1984 the building was extensively renovated and equipped with sanitary facilities on the ground floor and a large room and kitchen on the upper floor. It has been available to the Thüngersheim carnival club, which has leased it, since 1982.
