    A watchtower used by the GDR border troops above the borderland museum Eichsfeld. The tower was a command post responsible for a 16.9-kilometer boundary. From the pulpit, the four-man crew was able to control the border closely and make out any refugees quickly. The tower is located on a hiking trail near the borderland museum Teistungen.

    Here you can still see contemporary witnesses of the dictatorial policy of the former GDR, very instructive on German history

    Here you can experience an inglorious chapter of German history up close. It still shakes me and creates goose bumps.
