Interesting documentation center. The "Tettauer Zipfel" was a narrow border tongue of the GDR state territory, which extended about 1 km into Bavarian territory near Kleintettau. At the end of this "finger" stood the three houses of Kleinlichtenhain, which, together with the remaining two residents, were incorporated into Kleintettau and thus Bavaria in 1976 as part of a border adjustment.
