Frankfurter Tor 2004

Directed by Volker Koepp

"Frankfurter Tor" is the name of a huge parking lot for trucks on the A12 Berlin-Frankfurt freeway. For many years, this asphalted spot in the Mark Brandenburg served to pre-regulate border traffic. It is named after the Frankfurter Tor in Berlin. Thousands of trucks passed through this border every day, and over 700,000 drivers got off here every year and waited to continue their journey towards Poland.
