The "Gatehouse in Rethwisch" refers to the gatehouse of the former Rethwischhof estate in the Stormarn district, which no longer exists, as the manor house was demolished in 2023. It is part of the estate's historical heritage and a starting and finishing point for a short hike, even though today only the gatehouse of the original estate can be seen.
