The small pass represents the transition over the ridge between the Nüsttal near Gotthards and the valley of the Siebertsgraben near Reinhards. The turnpike alludes to the border situation that has existed here since 1815. After the end of the Napoleonic era, the Congress of Vienna reorganized numerous territories. The former Bishopric of Fulda and its short-lived successor states were divided between the neighbors. The former Fulda office of Geisa with Reinhard fell to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. The former Fulda office of Bieberstein became part of the (titular) Electorate of Hesse-Kassel, which was annexed by Prussia almost 50 years later. Even today, the federal state border between Thuringia and Hesse runs here.
