Скачать или смотреть DDR border at Marienborn - Die Grenze von der DDR an Marienborn

The DDR border control post at Helmstedt - Marienborn was the largest border point within the entire Soviet empire.
The point controlled the motorway leading to Berlin and beyond from West Germany.
Whereas there were few problems for people getting in if they were going to Berlin, it was a different story for those going to any other destination.
And of course it was designed to stop people getting out.
Most of the frontier fence is no longer there and in places it is no longer obvious where it was. However many remains are still evident and in some places have been preserved. In other places they are still standing, but abandoned and the broken glass and chipped paintwork demonstrates their fate.
There is an excellent museum at the former Helsmstedt - Marienborn border crossing which does not take much of a detour for those travelling along this road.
This film also shows photographs of Hötensleben, 12km south of Marienborn where the wall has been preserved. Here the wall was breached on 23 November 1989 and traffic allowed to run both ways for the first time in many years. However the locals preserved the wall in many places.
I crossed the border point at Marienborn several times from 1982 - 1987 both by train and by car. It was extremely interesting to see it from the other side.
I have now posted a three part film of the border control post at Marienborn which may also be of interest.

DDR border at Marienborn - Die Grenze von der DDR an Marienborn - Восточногерманская граница на западе

I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.

In my YouTube channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, Frankia, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow and others.

I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes others.

I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.

I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.
