Grenzdenkmal Gompertshausen, Border memorial in Gompertshausen, Germany.
The memorial consists of a surveillance tower from the former East German border security system with an underground command bunker attached.
Built in 1983, the tower was continuously staffed by East German soldiers until the political changes in November 1989 led to its decommissioning.
The memorial stands as one of the few protected border monuments along the former inner German border, preserving the physical evidence of German division.
The facility offers guided historical tours upon advance reservation, with original equipment including radio devices, ABC stations, and a MZ motorcycle on display.
The cellar area of the tower serves as a protected habitat for bats, combining historical preservation with environmental conservation efforts.
