Border Tower Museum

Description

In the Hennigsdorf district of Nieder Neuendorf, there is still a border tower where a small museum has been located since the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

From the end of the promenade, you can reach the Oder-Havel Canal and the former "border crossing station Hennigsdorf" via the bridge, a water control point. It was located from 1949 to 1990 at the Nieder Neuendorfer See between Lake, Havel, and the later constructed canal. Here, inland vessels were allowed to transit for the transport of goods to and from Poland or enter the territory of the GDR. Transit traffic to the Federal Republic was not possible; the passage was prohibited for pleasure boats. After the division of Berlin and the sealing of the outer borders of the GDR, the GDR government built the Havel Canal from 1951 to 1953 to bypass West Berlin, as the Havel flows through the western part of the city between Hennigsdorf and Potsdam.
