I could image a double marker system on the CS-EDE like at DEPL.

Right. As far as I know, the pre-1938-border was retained after 1945
as Czech border with Germany (east and west). I think they just
restored the old border treaties into force. But I vaguely recall
something I read about demolishing/removing centuries-old border
markers along CZDE-east and replacing them with (less handsome)
modern ones (in the 1970's or '80's). But the border remained the
same. It is an old border after all (ATDE, for example).
