Checkpoint Harry (Former Border Crossing)
Highlight • Historical Site
At the beginning of the 1970s, the border fortifications along the Elbe and the "green" border were expanded in such a way that there was almost no chance of escaping to the west. Like many other places, Boizenburg was removed from the restricted area in 1972. However, the 500 m restricted area, which also included the towns of Vier, Streitheide and Horst, was retained. It could still only be entered with a special permit. That is why a checkpoint (KP-Vier) was built on the Elbberg shortly before four at the former F5. From 1972, members of the People's Police checked all people who wanted to enter this restricted area.
After the fall of 1989, the property was initially unused. Then Harry Strelow, the current owner, had the idea of opening a snack bar on this spot. In reference to the probably most well-known checkpoint in the then divided Germany, the "Checkpoint Charlie" in Berlin, he named the former checkpoint Checkpoint Harry.

Historic Palm Lock Lauenburg
Highlight • Monument
Construction of the canal took six years.
The journey time for the barges, primarily loaded with salt, was about five weeks.
The Palmschleuse lock also becomes sadly famous whenever the Elbe River experiences extreme flooding. Due to its low-lying location, the area around the lock is always the first to be dangerously submerged. After the last flood, mobile flood barriers were acquired, which can be quickly erected and avert the danger.
During the lock's expansion in the 17th century, on the orders of George I of Great Britain, it was lined with natural stone. The coat of arms in the center of the chamber is still clearly visible. It was intended to commemorate the lock's expansion. According to tradition, it received its current name from the lock keeper at the time, Palm.
