I believe a witness marker is an indirect marking of a
border. When a border is in the middle of a stream,
sometimes witness markers are placed on either side of
the stream.

Here are some pictures of witness markers ("Weiser
fuer"-markers on ATDE at Jungholz.

And, totally unrelated, two other ATDE minor
crossings:
