This memorial meal at the border between Bavaria and Thuringia commemorates the time when Germany was divided into two parts. It is dedicated to the victims of the border strip and bears the names of those who died in this section. The cross itself is built from original material of the border fence.

Very interesting memorial, as long as you find time to stop at the insane traffic on the Frankenwaldhochstrasse.
