The monument was created in 1981 by the GDR sculptor Gerd Ullmann on behalf of the state and was "as a monument dedicated to all construction workers to remove the windbreak and bark beetle damage 1946-1949 ...".

From the "Rondell" rest area in Oberhof, you cross the curved Grenzsteigbrücke and you come directly to a "grandstand" in front of a strip of spruce forest that was then planted. The memorial was dedicated to the construction workers to remove the windbreak and bark beetle damage. This location offers you the opportunity to see the successes of the work at that time up close and in the mountain panorama.

A violent thunderstorm that swept across the Thuringian Forest on June 13 and 14, 1946, kinked whole trees like matches and mostly spruces were uprooted. The wind break due to the storm destroyed about 1.8 million square feet of spruce forest. For the clean-up and reforestation needed about 10,000 forestry workers. Only 10 years later, a total of 4.5 million cubic meters of wood had been worked up. This is reminiscent of the monument of the forest workers on Rondell at Oberhof.
