The border was permeable at all times and only became more and more insurmountable after the Second World War. Here the Soviet and British occupation zones bordered each other, which led to the strongly secured inner-German border. The former Reichsstraße 79, now in the west B 79 and in the area of the GDR trunk road 79, was interrupted between Mattierzoll and the town of Hesse. On the western side it existed as a narrow, cobblestone street up to the border fortifications. An information point about the border installations and the death strip was set up next to her.
