The border eagle on the Rennsteig near Oberhof is a prominent boundary stone on the municipal boundary of Oberhof. At the time of its erection, it marked the state border between the Kingdom of Prussia (Steinbach-Hallenberg section) and the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Oberhof section) to the north. The monument, designated as a field monument, is a well-known example of the border eagle type. (Source: Wikipedia)
