It's good that this barrier is no longer needed. Fortunately, the border between Germany and France only exists on the map. And that's how it should stay.

"The Picture Oak was once a popular resting place for the 'Schubkärcher' (wheelbarrows) returning home with wood, and on Sundays it was a hiking destination for young and old. Then as now, the Picture Oak is always decorated with fresh flowers. [...] The old Picture Oak stood firm until 1975. Its last green branch withered in 1945. In the end, it was nothing more than a ruined tree sealed with concrete. Since then, it has been renovated twice by the Schaidt PWV, most recently in 1995."
