The development of the border between 1945 and 1990 is shown along the old column path. The GDR border security soldiers used the patrol route along the border.

The Kolonnenweg is part of the inner-German border fortifications on the side of the former GDR. It was made of uniform, very weather-resistant perforated panels (concrete path panels), most of which are covered in plants and are pretty much firmly attached to the ground. In the death strip of the Berlin Wall, the column path was asphalted.
