Keith, Russia and Germany don't have a common border. To understand the warning sign and its inscription we have to look back in time. The quadripartite divisions of Germany and Berlin in consequence of WW2 have been temporary. Every of the four so-called victorious powers occupied a separate German sector and addional a sector in Berlin with own sector border. The above shown barrier (aid) with warning sign stood between the US and Soviet sectors and is written in English and German to inform your troops and German locals. In 1991, in other words 46 years after the end of the war the last Russian soldier left the country and Germany was reunited.
Today Germany is surrounded by allies and all frontier fortifications are carried away.
Dunno what's written at the very lower left corner.

Sorry Randy and all, it is as it often is, we went astray.

Like sheep we went astray

Like sheep we went astray,
And broke the fold of God,
Each wandering in a different way,
But all the downward road.
