Ich habe gerade etwas wirklich Seltsames erlebt und bin gespannt, ob jemand weiß, was hier los ist.
Wir fuhren durch ein ganz normales Wohnviertel in Deutschland, nur normale Häuser, nichts Besonderes. Die Straße ist im Grunde eine Schleife (eine kleine Kreisstraße) und genau in der Mitte befindet sich ein Tor auf der anderen Straßenseite.
Es sieht überhaupt nicht offiziell aus, eher wie etwas Privates. Es gibt keine Anzeichen dafür, dass der Bereich dahinter gesperrt ist oder ähnliches. Nur normale Häuser auf beiden Seiten.
Am Tor hängt ein kleines Schild mit der Aufschrift: „Bitte schließen Sie das Tor.“
Das Tor selbst war nicht verschlossen, wir konnten es einfach öffnen, durchfahren und wieder schließen. Nichts ist passiert, keine Alarme, niemand ist rausgekommen, nichts.
Was mich verwirrt ist:
Es ist nicht der Eingang zu einer privaten Einfahrt
Es liegt buchstäblich mitten in einer öffentlich zugänglichen Straße
Dahinter steckt nichts, was den Anschein erweckt, als bräuchte es Schutz
Warum sollte jemand dort ein Tor aufstellen?
Ist das irgendwo eine alltägliche Sache oder nur etwas Zufälliges/Privates?
Würde gerne hören, ob jemand so etwas schon einmal gesehen hat 😄

This is fun at night with no reflective warning…
!RemindMe 1 week
The only thing I could think of is that they don’t want people to use this road too much so they make it inconvenient and people therefore don’t drive though the neighborhood if they don’t live there
See if you can find someone there and ask them this (iconic) question: „Haben Sie eine Genehmigung für dieses Tor?“
If they answer „Nein“, you reply „Das gibt eine Anzeige!“
My guess is that too many people used to take this residential street as a shortcut, the residents complained, and the council put the gate there to make the shortcut inconvenient.
looking on Google Maps, there is a dead end sign on ether end of the road.

Private road- that’s about it, probably
Maybe to Stop people making shortcuts. But for normal they use bollards for that. We had the case Here that Trucks drove through our Hood to save 2 km.
Was it a verkehrsberuhigte Straße (living street) or was there a speed limit of 30? Maybe it got put it up because people were driving too fast… I‘m curious now, too!
Shortly before is a sign on the road for a dead end. I think it’s used to avoid the shortcut through the neighborhood. So people are forced to take the bigger road towards the canal.
It‘s not usual at all. Never encountered this.

This probably got installed to deter people from using a street as a short cut. The street I grew up in had something similar in the form of stone pillars. It helped keeping the street safe for children and quiet.
It seem to be a public road looking at the online Katasterplan from Schlesweg Holstein. Also if you check maps you can see it has public road signs signaling a deadend so its official most likely. Cant tell you the reason tho. If ur lucky someone from the area reads this post and can tell you. After a quick research i can tell you my assumption: the Schulweg connects Dorfstraße with the inspektor-Weimar-Weg. The District-Court of Achterwehr is located on that street. So its most likely intentional to stop shortcuts through the neighbourhood.
Ahhh I actually know this as I know someone who lives in Achterwehr that is involved in the local council and was talking about this the other day! So, this road was used as a shortcut through the village by many heading towards A210 (the Autobahn/highway) and just too many cars were going through this residential street, often too fast. The community council agreed to have the gate put there as a solution. Afaik it can be opened in case of emergencies and such.
Judging by the map you provided they don’t want through traffic between Dorfstraße and the street with the bus stops.
Die Straße ist auf beiden Seiten als Sackgasse markiert.
Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass sich ein Stück der Straße auf einem Privatgrundstück befindet und der Eigentümer kein Wegerecht eingeräumt hat.
maps is faulty and it’s not a road that goes through. There is a clear dead end sign in front of it. So the street terminates there and the gate protects the entrance to private property like gates usually do, so only residents can drive past it to park. It’s not a public street.
The other way through is still longer, negating the benefit of a shortcut.
But also, by making the route through have lots of turns, it also prevents people racing through the street.
Honestly, I wish they’d put something like this on this one walking path near my house. They have a sign indicating that cars are forbidden, but it says „Anlieger frei“, so that means that people with a destination in the area can use it, but in reality, people just use it for a short cut all the time. It’s a pain in the ass to be walking or biking on this little dirt path through the fields just to have some car barrel up on you because they feel more important than the signs telling them not to use it like a shortcut.
It is to prevent through traffic, but can still be opened in case of diversion or emergency service. I bet it isn’t even locked.
The clue is in the name of the street. Schulweg. They don’t want people using it as a rat-run when there will be school children around.
To force the traffic all the way around. That‘s as german as it can get 😂
On google maps it is pretty obvious this is so people use the main road through the village instead of cutting through the residential area.
