Gedenkstätte Deutsche Teilung Marienborn

The German Division Memorial Marienborn preserves the former border checkpoint facilities between East and West Germany along the Berlin-Hannover autobahn.

From 1945 to 1990, this checkpoint processed the majority of transit traffic between West Germany and West Berlin as the largest crossing point along the inner German border.

The memorial displays original rooms, passport control areas, and command towers that demonstrate the systematic control processes used during the German division period.

Located directly at highway A2, the memorial offers free admission and guided tours upon request, with exhibits in the former staff building presenting border control procedures.

The memorial received the European Heritage Label in December 2011, recognizing its role in documenting the physical manifestation of the Iron Curtain.
