The Hoyersburg Border Tower is a significant relic of the former inner-German border and is located directly on federal highway B 248 between Salzwedel (Saxony-Anhalt) and Lüchow (Lower Saxony). It is a so-called command post of type BT 4x4 (square floor plan, 4x4 meters). From here, the GDR border troops (6th Border Company of Border Regiment 24) coordinated the surveillance of a specific border section. It served as a communication center where signals from the fence and border alarm systems converged.

A short detour from the Green Belt to this tower is probably part of the tour. One of the larger towers can be seen here, it was also a guide point. An information board directly at the tour informed on the spot 👍

The Hoyersburg border tower is a relic from the time when the inner-German border ran here. Today the tower is accessible as part of guided tours and offers an interesting panoramic view of the Green Belt.
