At the small river Bremke the zone border between West and East ran for a long time. A place of remembrance with some informational material.

For 40 years, until the opening of the border on November 12, 1989, the Bremke River formed the old inner-German border. About 150 further on the opposite side of the street is the memorial stone for the opening of the border in 1989.

As early as the 18th and 19th centuries, the river formed the border between the Blankenburg and the Elbingeröderschen, with Blankenburg belonging to the Duchy of Braunschweig and the Elbingerode to the Electorate of Hanover.

An information board explains the meaning of the stone. There is also a bench to stay next to it.

The granite stone means division and reunification.
Ten and five oak leaves symbolize the federal states, the barbed wire symbolizes the separation by the iron curtain.
The crowns of the oak trees will grow together.

The monument refers to the German-German division, which also separated the Harz low mountain range, and reunification.
