    After the capture of Belgium, the German army hermetically closed the borders with the neutral Netherlands in April 1915 by means of an electrical wire of 2000 Volt. They took the shortest route, Essen and Nieuwmoer were cut off from Kalmthout and from the rest of the country.

    In the first World War, a high-voltage fence was erected in the north of occupied Belgium to seal off the occupied territory from neutral NL. Around 1000 people fell victim to this wire. The small reconstruction commemorates this historical chapter.

    A location to pause and contemplate on the subject of 'Freedom'.
    More than 100 ago it was not so obvious that you could just cross the border here in this region. Info board provides information about this nasty past.
