Summary edit

Description
Deutsch: Ansicht des ehemaligen DDR-Grenzbeobachtungsturms auf thüringischer Seite. Er steht mit etwas Abstand zur Grenze, und aufgrund der Höhe bot er eine erhöhte Reichweite. Auf dem Dach steht ein Scheinwerfer für Observation bei Nacht oder schlechten Lichtverhältnissen. Der Turm steht symbolisch für die Teilung Deutschlands, die Mauer und die in der DDR allgegenwärtige Überwachung.
English: View of the former GDR border observation tower on the Thuringian side. It stands at some distance from the border, and due to its height it offered an increased range. On the roof is a spotlight for observation at night or in poor lighting conditions. The tower is symbolic of the division of Germany, the Wall and the omnipresent surveillance in the GDR.
