I can well understand these feelings described by JR and one should stop with humility and gratitude in such places of history - what has brought the inner German border for suffering and how happy and grateful I am that we can now "hop" back and forth ,

I agree completely. It is precisely these places that make the German division tangible and tangible.

Somehow depressing and also liberating when you just drive over this historic border line and especially that you can do it in freedom today just like that and it's really good that way.
