55th Party Convention of the CPSUZöD

 

The Tumulus Hill, an ancient cairn from the Hallstatt period, was under Soviet control from 1947 through 1990. On November 12, 1990 some militia from U.S. Oberzögersdorf occupied it in the dark of night using their versatile fast tractors and moved the border pole (left, red). Due to the difficult political situation in the early 90s Soviet Unterzögersdorf was never able to reclaim the hill.
