The Kolonnenweg is part of the inner-German border installations on the side of the former GDR. It was made of uniform, very weather-resistant perforated plates (pavement plates made of concrete), which are mostly overgrown with plants and are pretty firmly attached to the ground. Here it led directly behind the houses. Bavaria was only about 50 meters further on. That's why a wall was even built here. The small town of Görsdorf was in the 500-meter restricted area on the inner-German border. The barrier measures there were increasingly tightened from 1961 onwards and led to the construction of a 3.5-meter-high concrete wall in 1981, which was primarily intended to serve as a screen.
