    The German-German history must not be forgotten. Therefore, it is important for the coming generations to receive testimonies from this time. In the tower, which is also used as an observation tower, information boards are distributed on the floors, which describes how the object was used and how the life of the citizens in the restricted area was once. Where the key to the tower is available is described on the door.

      Border tower in memory of the formerly divided Germany and the incompatible two social orders.

        You can visit the tower. Here at this place, together with the Werra Bridge, which has been called the "Bridge of Unity" since reunification, a memorial was created to commemorate the horrors of the GDR regime.
