The river barrier Göringen is a pedestrian bridge and former part of the border fortification of the inner German border in the district Göringen the city Eisenach in Thuringia.
The building spans the north of Göringen the Werra on the Gemarkungsgrenze between the Thuringian places Göringen and Wartha and the Hessian Herleshausen, which is also the border between Thuringia and Hesse and 1949-1990 was the border between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR. In its current function, it links the town of Göringen to the Werratal Cycle Path in this section north of the Werra and offers the shortest possible walking distance from the Herleshausen train station to Göringen and the Göringer Stein (from Wiki).
