Tips from the Community

Togro
April 2, 2026, Former GDR Watchtower with View of the A2

The watchtower (type BT-9) stands as a silent witness to one of the world's most heavily guarded border crossings. It marks the spot where the ideologies of the Cold War once stood in direct opposition.

The bridge over the A2 near Marienborn is far more than just a functional structure – it is a central symbol of German division and today an important part of the Marienborn German Division Memorial. The striking bridge, which spans the memorial site, was part of the Marienborn border crossing point (GÜSt), the largest and most significant checkpoint on the inner-German border.
