    The barrier was built around the turn of the year 1937/38. It is a newer version with a steel beam in the shape of an upside down "U". It is not possible to determine exactly when the barrier was removed, but it is very likely shortly after the occupation of the Czech border areas in 1938. This situation remained until the end of the Second World War.

        Interesting attachment of the Czechs for protection against a German attack from the 30s of the 20th century
