Historic Milestone on Bundesstraße 5 Between Lauenburg and Boizenburg
Highlight • Monument
The list of milestones on Bundesstraße 5 in Mecklenburg is a tabular listing of full and half milestones on the Mecklenburg section of the former chaussee between Hamburg and Berlin, which is now part of Bundesstraße 5. Because of the construction of bypasses in Boizenburg and Grabow, the course of the B 5 was relocated there and the stones stood or stand on the former course of the road. After completion of the parallel A 14 in this section in 2017, the B 5 between the Grabow junction and the state border with Brandenburg was downgraded to state road 072.
Milestones and half-milestones have been preserved in Mecklenburg from the time the road was built. On the whole milestones there are cast-iron plaques with distances to Berlin, Hamburg and Ludwigslust. The main milestone in Ludwigslust is the highest and oldest milestone in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
1 Prussian mile = 7.5325 km, German land(es) mile (Denmark, Hamburg, Prussia)

Checkpoint Harry (Former Border Crossing)
Highlight • Historical Site
At the beginning of the 1970s, the border fortifications along the Elbe and the "green" border were expanded in such a way that there was almost no chance of escaping to the west. Like many other places, Boizenburg was removed from the restricted area in 1972. However, the 500 m restricted area, which also included the towns of Vier, Streitheide and Horst, was retained. It could still only be entered with a special permit. That is why a checkpoint (KP-Vier) was built on the Elbberg shortly before four at the former F5. From 1972, members of the People's Police checked all people who wanted to enter this restricted area.
After the fall of 1989, the property was initially unused. Then Harry Strelow, the current owner, had the idea of opening a snack bar on this spot. In reference to the probably most well-known checkpoint in the then divided Germany, the "Checkpoint Charlie" in Berlin, he named the former checkpoint Checkpoint Harry.
