##### Historical Tidbit

From Hesse to Thuringia
The terrain on which the fairytale park and restaurant are located, was exchanged in 1945 between the US and Soviet occupation forces during the course of the “Wanfried Agreement”. Even though the occupation zones had already been set, this exchange of territories took place anyway, which kept the village of Mackenrode from lying directly at the hermetically sealed off and strictly guarded GDR national border.
