The flowers in the picture are crocuses, more specifically probably spring crocuses (Crocus vernus). Here are some reasons why this identification is likely: * Flowering time: Crocuses are typical spring flowers that often bloom early in the year, which fits the current season in Schöningen. * Appearance: The flowers have the characteristic shape and color of crocuses: * The petals are light purple with darker veins. * Orange stamens can be seen in the center of the flower. * Growth: Crocuses grow in groups, forming colorful carpets of flowers, as shown in the picture. * Location: The picture was taken in a cemetery, where crocuses are often planted due to their early flowering time and low maintenance. More information about crocuses: * There are many different types of crocuses that vary in color and flowering time. * Crocuses are popular spring bloomers that are widely used in gardens and parks. * Crocuses should not be confused with autumn crocuses, as these are poisonous.

Here you can experience the construction of such a border system up close.

Many border towers also had a vehicle recess outside so that the car could be hidden.

Here in the small forest, the pond is a nice change where you can take a break, there are benches.

The GDR's border barriers are not located directly on the border line. This lies between the actual border and the front barriers “upstream territory” of the GDR. There are no border or security facilities here. From 1967 onwards, the GDR border troops used the “upstream” to mark the actual border Territory" border columns painted black, red and yellow with the GDR emblem. They mark the border 3 to 5 meters east of the border line, which lies in the middle of the Aue stream in Hötensleben. Only specially trained "border reconnaissance officers" from the border troops who are considered to be particularly reliable are allowed to enter the territory of the GDR that is visible towards the Federal Republic. They are tasked with observing customs and federal border protection in the Federal Republic.
