Part of the original border fence

Summary edit

Description
English: The signal or "hinterland" fence (Signalzaun) was the first of the border fences, dividing the Sperrzone from the more heavily guarded protective strip (Schutzstreifen) adjoining the actual border. Its purpose was to provide the guards with an early warning of an escape attempt. The barbed wire strands on the top of the signal fence activated an alarm when pulled or cut, alerting the border guards. (Wikipedia).
