The funnel and ditch barrier between Hirschau and Ehenfeld is under monument protection on the associated information board "eyewitnesses of the cold war" is the function on the basis of pictures very well explained. The older, built in 1970 funnel barrier off the county road has three explosive shafts, depending on the battle position these shafts would have been equipped by pioneers with 25 -kg explosive devices, with the so-called cheese load, a total of about 2 tons. The second plant was built in 1987 for around 167 000 marks and consists of three horizontal tubes under the county road. If necessary, this trench barrier would have been filled with a total of 2.1 tonnes of plastic explosive. After the detonation, enemy tanks would have been unable to cross the trenches in the loosened and sloping ground.
