From Gompertshausen you drive across the Thuringian-Bavarian border. The former border tower with bunker complex is particularly well preserved and is a reminder of the former separation.

Located directly on the former border strip, it was only a few meters to the former Federal Republic of Germany. The border tower on the outskirts of Gompertshausen can be seen from far away. The border tower, which was built in 1981, was converted into a command bunker. The remains can still be seen today, an eternal memorial to history.
