    Tips

    Along the Green Belt, the former inner German border, you will always find information boards in historical places - for example, at places where so-called republic refugees were shot by the border posts. The tablets preserve the memory of the murdered.

      The inner German history moves the reader.
      Personal fates make you think.

        In 1932, following the construction of the road from Sonneberg to Gräfenthal, the Gasthaus Kalte Küche was built at this intersection. After a brief period of prosperity until the Second World War, the division of Germany followed and the establishment of the restricted zone along the inner-German border, whereby the cold kitchen was allowed to enter only with a pass.

          A piece of history, our people have been divided for so long.
          Thanks to Gorbachev, a people again.
          Hopefully no more war anywhere in the world!
          Down with the rulers who start senseless wars and thereby plunge people into misery and death. Peace for the world!

                Informative...yes. Visually beautiful...yes. Unfortunately it's pretty loud there.

                  I think it's great that you don't want to forget everything.

                      Poorly chosen location for such boards - it is simply too restless.
