The village of Mödlareuth was and still is today divided along the Tannbach between Thuringia (Gefell town) and Bavaria (Töpen), which played no role in the normal life of people until 1945 in the course of daily "local border traffic"; until 1989, however, the (impassable) inner-German border ran here with various barriers and the Wall, which is why people also spoke of "Little Berlin"; some of these systems have been preserved in the open-air area of the museum, numerous exhibits have been added; absolutely worth seeing exhibition, schedule time for this;

Mödlareuth is a small village on the border between Bavaria and Thuringia. It became known that during the division of Germany, the border between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR ran through the middle of the village. Remains of the border system can still be seen here in the Mödlareuth Borderland Museum. It's worth a visit.

The border here is marked by the Tannbach, which is the name of the ZDF series Tannbach, which fictionally retells the history of Mödlareuth.
