The commander of the border troops had his seat in the tower of the border crossing and could overlook the entire complex.

The command tower (also often referred to as the commander's tower or control tower) at the former Marienborn border crossing was the nervous center of the entire complex. As part of the Marienborn German Division Memorial, which is now a listed monument directly on the A2, it is one of the most striking relics of the Cold War.
