    Traces of the GDR border
    On July 7, 1964, around 8:00 p.m., 37-year-old porcelain maker Fritz Zapf from Piesau (Neuhaus district) was shot at this point.
    The two shooters fired 31 shots at the target. For this Willi K. (21 years) and Manfred P. (25) received the "badge of achievement of the border troops" of the GDR:
    You would have behaved excellently, a border violator "destroyed with targeted fire".
    Ten years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the district court
    Meiningen sentenced to eleven months' imprisonment, suspended for probation. (... from information board)
