This museum shows the history of the village...
Mödlareuth is a German village.
Mödlareuth is a German village situated partly in Bavaria and partly in Thuringia. The northern part was in East Germany and the southern part in West Germany. The Thuringian part of the village belongs to Gefell while the Bavarian part belongs to Töpen.
It was called Little Berlin by the Americans because a wall divided it, like the Berlin Wall divided Berlin. Now a museum shows the history of the village and gives
information about the political system at that time. Cold War museums in Germany, Geography of Bavaria, Geography of Thuringia, Inner German border, Museums in Bavaria, Museums in Thuringia, Open air museums in Germany - Best German Vacations!

Mödlareuth, a tiny town, was divided in two. The eastern side was the Soviet occupied side; the western side was controlled by the Americans - one of our best German vacations!
The village of Mödlareuth in south Germany, straddles the border between the two federal states of Bavaria and Thuringia. For more than 140 years, this border, which manifests itself in the form a small stream, made little difference to the daily life of the local populace.

There is a Watch Tower, one of those used by the East Germans to ensure people did not escape into the West.
With the fall of the wall, Arnold Friedrich's idea was born to create a museum about the history of the divided village of Mödlareuth – known as “Little Berlin“.

In our German vacation we found a classic Christmas nativity as we know it today has its origins in early Christianity.
