The German Inner Border was one of the many absurd boundaries which were the result of global geopolitics. During the Easter holidays of 1989 I had the opportunity to travel to Poland with a trip organized by my high school. The Iron Curtain still divided Europe, the Wall mercilessly split Berlin into two parts and communism was the great enemy (so we were told). We are about 17 years old and mostly grew up in a safe, carefree environment. After about five hours by bus we reach the border between the BRD and the GDR, between capitalism and communism, and between freedom and equality. No border guards here who wave you through with a bored hand gesture. On the contrary: take off your sunglasses, don't talk or laugh/smile and follow the instructions. I look out the window and see a concrete wall with barbed wire on it and a sign warning of mines. Without a reason of a doubt, I believe that this is not an empty promise. Eighteen months later, the GDR, and this surreal German-German border, no longer exists.... Lux Good parking to rest but very dirty. Ok only parking,toilet closed Well worth a visit just for the historical significance however watch out for the dog mess everywhere A striking monument to German reunification that looks more impressive from the motorway than from up close, plonked as it is in the middle of a rather run-down lorry park on a low mound inhabited by a colony of rats.
