    The 9th BPS Company was located on the site of the now-extinct village of Plöss.
    The border guard was housed in the former Flor Inn and the nearby gamekeeper's house.
    These two houses had initially survived the village's demolition in the 1950s. After the wire barricades were moved inland, the Ples Company was disbanded in the 1970s and relocated to the village of Vaclaf / Wenzelsdorf, 1.7 km away.
    The Flor Inn was demolished around 1980. The repaired hunting lodge now houses the "Na Plesi" Inn.
