The inner-German border was located at the crucifix (550 m above sea level) and was therefore not accessible. The cross had to give way to the border fence and was rebuilt in 1990. Today a nice rest area with a shelter on the former patrol path.

Today, next to the cross, there is a stamp of the Harzer hiking nobility and an outdated shelter.

After the communists could not endure such a creed in their forest and destroyed it, the present crucifix was rebuilt after the turn in 1990.
