Just so it doesn't leave a wrong historical impression, there was no war between the FRG and the GDR 😉and if you're interested in the border towers on the GDR side and the differences, the big one in Dahrendorf was called 4x4, the narrow square one 2x2 and the optical ice cream cone BT11😉

Unfortunately, you can no longer recognize anything about the place. Apart from the biogas plant there is nothing left to see here. It would have been nice if signs had been put up where, for example, the church once stood or other buildings.
