Of the 1400km of the inner-German border, unfortunately only a few places like this remain! How do you want to teach children history if you destroy everything! Much more of it should have been left standing, but in the united capital, investment was rather made in buildings. I remember this threatening border as a child and I find it simply sad what is left of it. This way, it's hard to convey history to my little adventurous daughter. You have to touch, see and understand on site. If a pompous building stands there today, what do I want to tell my adventurous daughter with that?

The gatehouse dates from 1560 and features a stone rebate for the former portcullis and stone hinges on the outer pointed arch portal. The first floor formerly housed the prison. The second floor was added in the 17th century to contain living quarters and a clock mechanism. The small clock bell is located in the arcaded upper story. The defensive wall runs along both sides of the gate, with a former municipal bakehouse and living quarters built onto the left side. Source: Information panel

A beautiful historic market square, well-preserved and restored half-timbered houses, a few cafes and ice cream parlors invite you to sit outside in the summer.

Built in 1965/1966, the tower was located directly on the inner-German border. Visitors from all over the world used to come to gaze into the GDR beyond its border fortifications and the death strip.
