    You can even see the Braunschweig lion and Lower Saxony's steed.

      😎The boundary stones show on one side the striding lion of Electoral Saxony, which goes back to the symbol of the medieval Landgraviate of Thuringia. On the other hand, the Prancing Horse of Lower Saxony can be seen as a symbol of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (Hannover).

      The border was marked in 1735 after long-standing disputes about its exact course. In that year, the representatives of the two German countries mentioned concluded a corresponding agreement on neutral soil in the nearby Free Imperial City of Nordhausen. As a result, around 250 stone markers made of sandstone were erected in the Old Stolberg.
