When the small observatory was built in 1971 and 1972 on the hill not far from the then-quietly used A4 motorway, the outskirts of the village were considerably farther away than they are today. Hardly any artificial light source obscured the stargazers' view of the night sky here, just outside the village gates. "Back then, this location was ideal," emphasizes Arnulf von der Stein after unlocking the massive outer door. Now 83, he witnessed the development of this rather functional, purpose-built building, whose appearance, thanks to its distinctive dome, nevertheless resembles a miniature cathedral, from its beginnings to its demise.

The church's origins date back to the 15th century. The simple building was renovated several times before its demolition in 1930. The last service took place in January 1930, followed by the laying of the foundation stone for the new building, which was consecrated in August. The hall church, with its steeple extending into the nave and supporting an octagonal tent roof between battlements, is built in the style of a fortified church. The Pietà from the 1735 altar has been preserved. The wooden figures of St. Valentine and St. Pantaleon come from an altar of the Fourteen Holy Helpers from the early 16th century. On the back wall of the galleries is a depiction of St. Christopher. Also visible are statues of Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Elizabeth. (Source: Wikipedia)

On the Wenigentaft - Soisdorf road: At this point, the border with its barriers crossed the Wenigentaft - Soisdorf road. The patrol track also led up to the Standorfsberg here. Due to the enormous gradient - probably the steepest in the entire system of GDR border fortifications - it was only used by vehicles in exceptional cases for safety reasons. The slabs were removed towards the end of the 90s.
