June 1, 2026, Former Border Watchtower Near Boizenburg

A short stop for reading. Then it continues.

The former border watchtower south of Boizenburg was once part of the GDR border security regime and stood at a checkpoint/crossing on the Elbberg. It was part of the five-kilometer exclusion zone, through which residents were only allowed to enter with a pass; the tower served to observe and control passenger and freight traffic. Today, it is preserved and incorporated into the Elbberg Museum in Boizenburg as a memorial to the inner-German border.

As of May 2025, the bridge is still closed, its structural condition has deteriorated significantly since last year and will probably never be passable again 🤔

Unfortunately, it's currently closed (due to renovation work?). However, a short detour via the village street leads directly to the (cycle) path on the other side of the Sude River.
