    A quick stop is a must!

    The Schifflersgrund Border Museum opened on October 3, 1991. It is one of the oldest border museums in Germany. In the following years, further exhibits were acquired, including original border control booths from the spring of 1990 and a variety of vehicles and helicopters.

    The Hessian-Thuringian Border Museum was established on a section of the former inner-German border. The museum comprises an open-air area as well as former customs and control barracks that were relocated to the museum grounds. Inside, the focus is primarily on the changes to the region after the Second World War, namely the exchange of villages between Hesse and Thuringia and the construction of the border fortifications from 1952 onwards.

    Opening hours are daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

    A visit is highly recommended.

    A feeling of unease creeps in as you look up the valley towards the border museum.

    You drive along the patrol road, the high, gray border fence to your right, the death strip in between, the NVA bunker in the valley, and the border tower on the opposite hill.

    The border has been open for 30 years now, but this oppressive feeling still lingers.
