The stone memorial commemorating the villagers who died in World War I was erected on August 18, 1929. After the expulsion of the Germans, the stone was toppled, its inscriptions destroyed, and the entire complex vandalized. In 2001, the memorial was re-erected and consecrated once again.

A memorial site for the village of Böhmisch Reizenhain, which existed as a sister village to Reitzenhain on the Saxon side from 1401 to 1946. Today, apart from a few remnants of the walls, not even the ruins of the former buildings remain. The deserted village is called Pohraniční in Czech.

In 1939, 229 people lived here. After the end of World War II, the German residents were expelled, and all the houses were razed to the ground. Only three buildings remained standing, including the chapel of the former cemetery.

Böhmisch Reizenhain was a village that existed from 1401 to 1946. Only the attached signs show how big this place was and where the houses stood. It was completely destroyed after the violent expulsion of the Sudeten Germans living there. A place that makes you think.
