Memorial
The town of Bleckede was divided for over 40 years: The districts of Neu Bleckede and Neu Wendischthun belonged to the GDR until reunification. The exhibition in the bunker, in the border tower and outside brings a piece of contemporary history to life.
In the "Gallery of History" in the former GDR observation bunker FB-3, visitors immerse themselves in the regional history of division and unification.
The exhibition in the former GDR observation tower BT-9 (4×4) stores memories of local contemporary witnesses, picks up on traces in the landscape and encourages visitors to engage with their own history, present and future.
The pulpit of the border tower offers unique views of the Elbe and the landscape of the Lower Saxony Elbe Valley Biosphere Reserve, the town of Bleckede and the ferry, which has been operating again since the opening of the border in 1989.

Admission is free

From April to September, the border tower is open every 3rd Sunday of the month from 1 to 3 pm. For further information, please call 05852 - 95 14 14
