Part #3: Emergency Anti-Vehicle Barrier Rolling barriers were set up on the East German side of almost every road border crossing. 11 m long and 6 t in weight, they were designed to prevent "border breakthroughs by vehicles". From a cabin above a Bunker, 2 border guards on duty could operate the barrier at the touch of a button. Triggered by a hydraulic punch, the Barrier then rolled into its counterpart within 3 seconds. The barrier could only be opened again using a cable winch. It was tested between 3am and 4am every day.
Part #9: Border Dogs and Dog run The Dog run shown is here a reconstruction. Although there was no run like this in this area, it is typical of dog runs on other sections of the east german border. These were built from 1974, mainly at sections of the border security signal fence that were difficult to guard. Inside of the run were a kennel, a food bowl and a water bowl. There were also "running ropes", fixed between two steel masts across the length of 30 - 50 m. A movable lead was attached to this wire rope, so that the dog could run along the strip. There were gaps between the ends of the ropes to stop the dogs from biting each other. The guards dogs, which usually spent their entire lives on the border, were fed and checked once a day (taken out of the run every week).

We have stayed for one night only. The room was spacious and clean. It was quiet so we had a good night sleep. Breakfast was really good: wide selection of fresh produce and tasty treats. Another plus was free parking. Location is ok too - the hotel is not too far from a city centre.
