    On the entire inner German border stood 2735 border pillars, all of which were numbered.
    Here stands the GDR border post 324.
    Now, the Green Belt allows a clear view of the heathland with its biotopes.

      The GDR border pillars (also known as GDR border posts) were markings of the GDR's state border and were first set up on the inner-German border in autumn 1967.
      The location was initially about one meter behind the border line, later they were moved back about 5 to 10 meters to GDR territory.
      The reason was damage from the West German side.
      The border pillars had a sign below the top of the pillar with the state coat of arms of the GDR and the state name.
