    From 1806 onwards, this was the state border between the Kingdom of Bavaria and Saxony-Hildburghausen, and from 1826 to 1920 the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg-Gotha. An official messenger commuted between the administrative offices on foot at least twice a week, each time covering almost 49 kilometres. The "Amtsbotenweg" is named after him.
