Description
Wilhelmshöher Tor.. The gate was to serve as a prelude to Wilhelmshöer Allee,it was intended to commemorate the attainment of the electoral dignity. Three designs by Jussow have survived,two Roman triumphal arches and a Greek gate based on the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Only the two gatehouses (No. 1 and 6) could be completed before the French invasion in 1806. After the return of the Elector in 1813,construction work was not resumed. From 1814 to 1822,the Brothers Grimm lived in the northern gatehouse (No. 1). Today,the southern gatehouse belongs to the Landesmuseum and houses the museum's design collection. The northern one is now part of the Hessian Administrative Court
