Hesse-Lower Saxony-Thuringia border triangle
About 100 m south of the summit of the Schmiedeköpfe is the border triangle Hesse-Lower Saxony-Thuringia (approx. 233 m ; ⊙ ), where the German states of Hesse, Lower Saxony and Thuringia border each other.
The Landgraviate of Hesse , the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the Electorate of Mainz used to border there , after the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) the Electorate of Hesse , the Kingdom of Hanover and the Kingdom of Prussia , which is why the three-country stone there was marked with the inscriptions KFH , KH and KP wears. In the vernacular it is said: Sometimes teachers from Eichenberg ( KFH ; Hessen), Reckershausen ( KH ; Lower Saxony) and Hohengandern ( KP ; Thuringia) met at Dreiländerstein to play with cards , each of them sitting in their (then) country.
During the Cold War (1945–1990) the boundary stone formed a border point along the inner-German border , from 1945 between the American (ABZ) and British occupation zones (BBZ) in the west and the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ) in the east, and from 1949 between the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in the west and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the east. The Iron Curtain and the Kolonnenweg led past , which once served as a border control route and is now used as a hiking trail. From about 1970 to 1976 there was an observation post (OP Oscar) of the US armed forces with a wooden tower and helipad on the Schmiedeköpf.
Since October 3, 1990, the day of German unity , the boundary stone has marked the border between Hesse, Lower Saxony and Thuringia. He is now in the Green Belt Germany . The Eichenberger Waldbahn tracks have been located on the northern slope of the Schmiedeköpfe since 1989 .
