It is still possible to see traces in the country of the old border.
In the municipality of Esbjerg there are still 11 border stones at different places. Border stone number 1 marks the old border in Spækbro, and the borderstone has been recycled for tombstones in several cemeteries.
During the winter of 1864-1865, 128 border poles were placed along the new Kongeå River Border. The poles were made of wood and painted white by Danish carpenters. While no. 1 was placed next to Sprækbro, Hejlsminde was given no. 128. The distance between the poles varied from 100 to 1500 m, depending on the terrain.
The number of border poles increased from 128 to 131. No. 22a was added east of Varminglund in 1885, due to the lack of visibility between nos. 22 and 23. In 1887, no. 7, which was situated next to Vester-Hviding Station, was divided amongst 7a, 7b and 7c.
Several of the poles were placed in streams and began to rot. While the poles were replaced on an ongoing basis, and from 1891 to 1915, they were replaced with granite poles made by a stonemason and sculptor, C. Schwartz, in the then German town of Haderslev. The stones were inscribed with Kr. Dm. (Kingdom of Denmark) one side and Kr. Pr. (Kingdom of Prussia) on the other.
11 border stones are still to be found in different locations within Esbjerg Municipality.
