    Visible border testimonies are the preserved historical boundary stones with the initials GSW for the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach and KP for the Kingdom of Prussia. The 1961-1989 hermetically sealed border between GDR and FRG is no longer directly recognizable. Even today's federal states of Thuringia and Hesse have not attached any special markings to their state borders.
