This fence is part of a kissing gate.
A kissing gate is a type of gate that allows people, but not livestock, to pass through. The normal construction is a half-round, rectangular, trapezoidal or V-shaped part-enclosure with the free end of a hinged gate trapped between its arms.
The name comes from the gate merely "kissing" (touching) the inside of the enclosure. It reliably forms a barrier rather than needing to be securely latched on each use. Courtesy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_gate
The more romantic notion, and one that I like, is that the first person to pass through would have to close the gate to the next person, providing an opportune moment to demand a kiss in return for entry. When we go through as a family it can take a bit of time for the kisses, but on that day I was by myself. :-)

HFF, have a great weekend, Herb
volker_hmbg club has replied to aNNa schramm clubKleines Schwingtor (das immer nur eine Person durchlässt)!
Was mir aber noch fehlt, ist eine Erklärung, wie es zu dieser Bezeichnung kam!
HFF Amelia!
HFF and a lovely weekend.
how did this type of gate get this funny name. It should allow only one person to get through, so what happens if there a two to make a try :-)
Have a great weekend.
HFF and HANWE
