Across the great divide

Article Abstract:

It is still possible to see a number of relics of the Cold War in the former East Germany. These include Schnackenburg, which was actually in West Germany but where the pace of life slowed down significantly because of its proximity to the border with East Germany, and Point Alpha, located in the Fulda Gap. It is also worth visiting Sonneberg, whose residents were removed to East Germany's industrial centre, and Modlareuth, which was split in half by the border.
