The former border complex near Rade (a district of Wittingen) is an impressive and at the same time depressing place of contemporary history. It is located directly on the state border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt and was part of the approximately 1,400 km long inner-German border.

It's nice to drive around and view from the outside. I don't know if it's possible to view the inside.

The “Alte Darre” in Diesdorf was built in the 14th century as a bakery and brewery for the Augustinian monastery. The oldest beams in the building date back to the winter of 1306-1307. After the monastery was converted into a women's convent in 1551, the building continued to serve as an outbuilding. In 1860, a seed kiln was set up to produce pine seeds, which was in operation until 1900. Today, the Alte Darre houses an exhibition on local history and is used for cultural events.

The monastery church of St. Mary and Crucis in Diesdorf was founded in 1161 as part of an Augustinian monastery. Construction of the three-aisled brick basilica began in 1182 and was completed around 1230. It is an important example of brick Romanesque architecture in the Altmark and is characterized by its complete groin vaults and the tied system. Of the old four-part chimes, only the smallest bronze bell from 1652 has survived. The remaining bells fell victim to the armaments industry in the two world wars. In the 1950s, four cast iron bells were purchased thanks to donations from the community. After reunification, Otto Bose, a native of Diesburg, donated four new bronze bells to the church. The church is part of the Romanesque Road and can be visited from April to September.
