The memorial site has been very thoroughly constructed. All details of the border security are recognizable, down to the SM 70 self-disarming system. Was very valuable for me.

And if you want to extend the route, head south at the entrance to Gresse toward Metlitz. It's just as smooth and lonely.

The inner-German border ran near Boizenburg/Elbe on the B5, which runs from Lauenburg to Boizenburg. It was an important border route between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR. Boizenburg also featured a border crossing known as "Checkpoint Harry." Today, the area is a memorial to the division of Germany.
