Tripoint Federal Republic of Germany, GDR, Czechoslovakia

The tripoint marks the exact spot where the borders of West Germany, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia met during the Cold War, identified by a stone marker. The location sits in borderland between Regnitzlosau, Eichigt, and Hranice.

After World War II, three different states came together at this spot and remained divided from 1949 until 1990. This division ended with German reunification and the collapse of the Soviet-controlled eastern bloc.

The monument reflects how Europe was divided after World War II, with different political systems existing side by side at this exact point. Today visitors can see how this boundary shaped the land itself.

The location is reachable by roads connecting Regnitzlosau in Germany and Hranice in the Czech Republic, with parking nearby. Walking to the marker lets you better understand the borderland landscape.

This spot became a critical point during the 1989 mass escape when thousands of East Germans traveled through Czechoslovakia to reach the West. The area shifted from a heavily guarded barrier to an open crossing in just months.
