    Next to it there is a piece of border fence.

      This was once the inner-German border between Hesse and Thuringia. A memorial stone and an information board with a piece of border fence are reminiscent of a piece of German history that must not be forgotten by future generations.

        The memorial stone is not even the most interesting thing here, but there is an information board with the history of the Dankmarshausen border. Right next to a section of the former border fence, there is also information on how the train traffic between the two states was regulated (or even stopped for several months in the event of a dispute) and how the Werra was made safe for escapees.
