Point Romeo was one of four US observation bases on the former inner-German border on the Hessian side. The others were: Point Alpha near Rasdorf, Point India near Ringau-Lüderbach and Point Oscar near Eichenberg in the Werra-Meißner district.

From 1945 to 1990 the American armed forces' "Camp Romeo" border observation station was located here. For 45 years this served to secure peace and our home on the Iron Curtain.

The US border observation station "Point Romeo" was located near the village of Bosserode.

Today a plaque erected by the community reminds of this time.

Romeo was next to India probably closest to a possible advance route of enemy units, as the motorway (from 1978) passed directly here.

As with almost all observation points, there is a wonderful foresight when the weather is nice.
