    The tower is closed. However, it is in good condition. Also the former Matallgitterzaun can be seen here. Also this is German history. Unfortunately

      The tower had nothing to do with the NVA. It belonged to the border troops (GT) of the GDR.

      NVA - National People's Army - today Bundeswehr, one army

      GT - Grenztruppen - today Federal Border Guard, a police unit

      @Margarete, this tower is type BT-9 and not BT 4x4. If you use Wikipedia, you should also mark the incorrect quotation as such. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beobachtungsturm_der_Grenztruppen_der_DDR

      Use quotations: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Zitate
