One of the Best Places To Visits in Ingersleben Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. This historic place is one of the most interesting place along the German wall, which has been built between 1961 and 1989. The Marienborn control shows the terrible and ugly face of the german kind of communism, the paranoia and bad behavior for all mankind, especially the torture to everybody who want visit the closed town West-Berlin or others. To see all the buildings and exhibitions you need more than 1 hour time. Close by you find a new Autobahn restaurant. Many tourists and german pupils visit there. ... and the entry is free. Good place to visit during a road trip to get a good sense of what the Cold War, and the between eastern- and western- Germany was like. The is still in the exact state as it was during the Cold War. We drove a long way and the weather was bad, so we arrived after it had closed for the day. It looks very interesting though, and I hope I’ll be back in the area someday. WOW. It's was a SURPRICE to See. We should have a Brake, but the Gasoline Station was full up, so We took the next. So was We here, FANTASTIC to See inside and walking araound. Very interesting and historical area. I can really recommend to take some and discover this interesting exhibition. Learn and teach everyone what kind of catastrophic system in the GDR was present. Good that we overcome the situation and Germany became reunited! Former checkpoint right next to the Autobahn. Interesting place to stop and walk around while traveling. Intersante locatie. Ook nog mee gemaakt toen het nog in bedrijf was . Altijd spannend om er te komen. Very interesting (partly) open air museum of the where checks used to happen for crossings. You can find information about the and the checks throughout the area on panels with numbers. Would recommend stopping by when u pass this highway exit. Wiederholt beim Vorbeifahren den Vorsatz gefasst hier mal anzuhalten. Dieses Mal war es soweit und wir haben es nicht bereut. Sehr informativ und wer jemals diesen Grenzübergang benutzt hat (ich zuletzt im Mai 1989) sollte sich versuchen die unterschiedlichen Gefühle von damals und heute in Erinnerung zu rufen. Für mich von eingeschüchtert, ängstlich (1989) zu … auf jeden Fall nicht wie 1989, irgendwie merkwürdig so über das Gelände zu flanieren .. aber irgendwie befreiter und doch komisch 🤔🤷‍♂️ Wer seine Pause sinnvoll nutzen will und Interesse an deutsch-deutscher Geschichte hat, auf jeden Fall besuchen! Öffnungszeiten beachten! This is an often overlooked memorial, but one that you surely must not miss! It was the predominant crossing used during the days of the DDR for people who were driving to/from Bundesrepublik Deutschland & West Berlin. The museum exhibitions are fascinating. So much of the outdoor facilities have been restored to their prior condition. The facility is a massive complex, and is organized in a way for people to 're-enact' what it may have been like to go through customs when entering the former East Germany. There are also very solemn and sad sections that are dedicated to people who were murdered while trying to escape the DDR. Overall, this is a fascinating historical site, and I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would! :) Went to this place late in the day but was escort off by a security woman who told me no video only photos which I found a strange rule with todays cameras taking fast photo which is like a video asked why replied due to propaganda. She was very pleasant and informed it close at 1700 so my fault. I have been here many times before when it was just abandoned but now they are looking after it and turned into a open museum. I will be back with to take it all in and have to reflex on what it represents. Never had chance to go through when it was in use which I would have liked to and on to Berlin Lesson learned do what can when you can tomorrow it could be gone. Sehr sehenswert Историческое место. This is an impressive place and a very nice exhibition. I didn't expect to spend so much here. I definitely recommend visiting. There is a free admission and you can take a brochure with a map that guides you around the with 25 stops. There you can read information at panels and learn about all phases and aspects of checks that were going on here. You get to know what it was like to cross the even if you just travelled to West Berlin. Unbelievable. A really impressive and extensive with loads of exhibits to see from its as the sole road crossing between East and West Germany, including a variety of former checkpoints, offices etc, a watchtower and the large and well presented main exhibition spread over two floors. I arrived at 3.45pm thinking that would be plenty of time, but when the indoor exhibits closed at 5pm I still hadn’t seen everything - you could easily spend two hours wandering around. There’s also the section of preserved fence down the road at the Memorial Hötensleben, so for anyone with an interest in Cold War history it’s well worth making a stop in this area. + Free entry + free parking (at the rest stop) on site. + Bilingual (German and English) text provided at (most) information boards. + Numerous outdoor and indoor exhibits to explore around the checkpoint grounds. + Many buildings well preserved and still in original condition. + Very insightful interactive displays covering aspects of GDR/DDR history, occupied territories, checkpoint procedures, escape attempts, former guard interviews (quite riveting), and reunification in 1989 (to mention only a few). + Highly recommended for an original, up-close experience of German history! sehenswert. Unsere Geschichte die in 30 Jahren wahrscheinlich vergessen ist. Really nice experience. The sight has a built in "guide" in that you goes from station 1 to station 2 and so on. Makes it very easy to go to. Also, it is one the very few sights in Germany where they have an english translation for their content. Big plusses for that 👍 ..господа, нижекоментирующие..особенно из стран Бенелюкса...это обращение прежде всего к вам.. Прежде чем сокрушаться по поводу "уродливого лица немецкого комунизма" прошу посетить такие места как Освенцим..или хотя бы Майданек...чтобы для сравнения взглянуть в лицо вами любимого капитализма... Данный комплекс следует расценивать как исторический экспонат ...Историю к сожалению не перепишешь и все события и явления в ней имеют причинно-следственную связь. Mein Navi ist hier mal ausnahmsweise nicht kaputt gegangen 🙂 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
