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 first sandstone spring casing from the 1940s was redesigned in 1973 and acquired its current representative appearance in 1985. A bronze plaque by Erich Husemann from Trappstadt has commemorated the importance of the Franconian Saale since 1987. The spring stream flows southwest through Alsleben, where it joins the Fleusengraben, and joins the left source stream north of Bad Königshofen-Untereßfeld.
