Museum Gedenkstätte Deutsche Teilung Marienborn in Ingersleben

You're standing on the grounds of the former Marienborn border crossing. While Germany was divided, this was the largest and most important crossing between East and West. Take a look around. East Germany built this whole complex on the hill between 1972 and 1974, on a field of thirty-five hectares. The actual border lay about a kilometre and a half to the west. And that motorway nearby is the A2. Back then, it was simply cut in two right here.
