<div id="ygrps-yiv-1933605017">Can anybody READ what is written on the left board: &quot;Achtung Lebensgefahr<br/>
Wirkungsbereich ... Minen&quot;? What kind of mines?<br/>
<br/>
Without consulting the link I would interpret the GO as Gotha, which makes<br/>
partly sense, since Coburg-Gotha&#39;s northern border was Bavaria&#39;s northern<br/>
border in the Cold War. Though I would have expected the stone saying CO<br/>
instead of GO. The stone to the left may say AL which could stand for<br/>
Altenburg, but this does not make sense at all.<br/>
<br/>
The website confirms: 	&quot;The outer limit of the &#39;Iron Curtain&#39; is symbolised<br/>
by three former boundary posts which mark the point at which the territory<br/>
of the former duchies of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Saxe-Meiningen met that of<br/>
the former kingdom of Bavaria.&quot;<br/>
