Behind the wall, so to speak on the former site of the Mitteldeutsche Motorenwerke, was until 1990 the ammunition material depot of the BDVP Leipzig and its subterranean evasion management center. The comrades of the People's Police have, of course, guarded their object itself. Secured was also with contact wires which were attached to the upper edge of the object wall.

This type of watchtower or observation tower was also built to secure the hinterland of the restricted zone border area. I know of 4 in today's Eichsfeld district alone. April 2024
