Borderland - Museum Behrungen,
here you can learn a lot about the former German-German border.
If I hadn't experienced the division of Germany myself, it would be hard to imagine the inhumanity of the border at that time.

German-German Open-Air Museum
The German-German Open-Air Museum includes historical sites of the former inner-German border across national borders.

The towns of Behrungen and Berkach in Thuringia and Rappershausen in Bavaria are designated monument sites of the open-air museum. There are historically based partnerships with the district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen, the Thuringian and Bavarian state police, the Federal Border Guard, the "German Youth" foundation and the European Fund for Natural and Environmental Heritage.

[German-German Open-Air Museum] The facilities of the German-German Open-Air Museum are partly designated as cultural monuments, area monuments and archaeological monuments in Thuringia. The border strip is designated as a natural monument and nature reserve and is bat-friendly.

Full or partial tours of the memorial site near Behrungen or through the area of the open-air museum in the former border section 44 with the Bavarian state border are possible by arrangement.
