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.

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.
