Mödlareuth, Border village between Bavaria and Thuringia, Germany
The Tannbach stream flows through the center of Mödlareuth, marking the boundary between two German federal states of Bavaria and Thuringia.
From 1949 to 1990, a concrete wall divided Mödlareuth into East and West Germany, with guard towers and armed personnel monitoring the border.
The Museum Mödlareuth preserves a 100-meter section of the original barrier and displays artifacts from the Cold War period for educational purposes.
The village maintains separate administrative systems, including different postal codes and telephone area codes for its Bavarian and Thuringian residents.
American forces nicknamed this small settlement Little Berlin due to the concrete wall that split the community similar to the Berlin Wall.
