    The sign is reminiscent of German history. Because it is not a matter of course to live in a united country.

      The former inner-German border was located here, the sign reminds of it.

        A sad piece of German history. At this spot, where the Muschwitz flows into the Selbitz, there was apparently an agent lock during the GDR era. The article mentions a Moschwitz, but there is no such thing in eastern Bavaria.
