| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmstedt–Marienborn_border_crossingthis is a simple link to Checkpoint Alpha. It haschanged a lot since 1989 but there is museum in the old DDR checking area. The Soviet military checkpoint has been demolished. It is possible to see the old 'village' for the DDR checkpoint personnel who were isolated from both FRG and DDR populations due to possible 'corruption' by contact with undesirable Western influences. | |
