A separate building for border control was built at Probstzella station in 1976.
It is a four-storey masonry building.
 On the ground floor of the building there were rooms for border control and a 20-metre-long “control” path, through which all those leaving had to pass.
 In addition, it housed the offices of the East German border troops, passport control and customs.

Since German reunification, the building has been abandoned.
In May 2007, it was bought by the town of Probstzella for €3,500, with the intention of demolishing it.
The Thuringian Conservation Office informed the community in August 2008 that due to its dilapidated condition it would not be heritage listed.

Historians of the period spoke out against the demolition proposal.
There were plans to establish a museum in part of the former border station.
In December 2008 the building was finally torn down.
On 6 November 2010, a border station museum opened in the historic station building, covering the history of border controls at the border stations on the Inner German border.
