    A customs house used to stand here on the state border between Bavaria and Thuringia.
    The locality on the Rennsteig is mentioned in the 1414 divisional document.

      If you imagine that the inner-German border used to run here, a place steeped in history

        Hardly imaginable:
        A few years ago this spot was insurmountable!
        Thanks to Gorbachev, it's no longer an issue today.
        Having grown up without a war, I wouldn't wish it on anyone in the world.
        Only a few people in the leadership of a state who bring misery to so many other people!
        Let them compete against each other and let the world live in peace.
        As a radio amateur without borders, I felt peace for all people even in the days of the GDR.
        This is a historical place in that sense.
