The barrier at the Siebengewald-Gaesdonck border crossing was dismantled and restored between 2016 and 2017. A barrier is a barrier that marks a boundary. “GOCH.TV” accompanied the construction, dismantling and restoration. Many of those involved have their say and report on the project. The barrier is reminiscent of the former "Europe of many borders". There was once even live fire against coffee smugglers at this border. The project was organized by the “Heimatverein Goch e.V.”.
