This offered an opportunity to revisit a topic that&#8217;s been sitting in my queue unaddressed for the longest time. I figured that most of us were familiar with the Belgian portion of the Vennbahn railroad line. This is the line that created several small German enclaves within Belgium south of Aachen. I wanted to talk about it without rehashing the same set of facts discussed on many different websites. But I needed a hook. So Street View\u2019s arrival in Belgium seemed to be the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m10!1m8!1m3!1d81065.31092002815!2d6.206589000000001!3d50.584544999999984!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1627669881105!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google does a decent job of showing the five German enclaves hemmed-in by a narrow strip of Belgium. Drill in further to get a better view if you like. Indeed, the width of Belgian land pushing through much of this area is scarcely sufficient to include a rail line. A good static map appears on <a href=\"http:\/\/geosite.jankrogh.com\/vennbahn.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jan S. Krogh&#8217;s GeoSite<\/a> complete with links to detailed topographic maps. These barely-enclaves are Munsterbildchen, R\u00f6tgener Wald, R\u00fcckschlag, M\u00fctzenich and Ruitzhof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact number of enclaves <a href=\"http:\/\/freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/~hughwallis\/555\/VennbahnNetherlandsFrankfurt.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is debatable<\/a>. While, unquestionably, the track bed belongs to Belgium it\u2019s not entirely clear if territorial ownership extends below the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1627670129672!6m8!1m7!1sw7Wy3hArUnK1bBO6T-Ngmw!2m2!1d50.53944325263016!2d6.198262541203383!3f297.93376255107427!4f0.9127451750638471!5f0.7820865974627469\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a road absolutely goes beneath the track bed here at the southern edge of the M\u00fctzenich enclave. Thus, is M\u00fctzenich an enclave within the confines of Belgium or does it connected to the rest of Germany? People actually worry about this stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This situation traces its roots to the late 19th Century when Kaiser Wilhelm I first authorized a railway through the area to carry coal and iron. The Germans later used the line extensively during the First World War to transport troops and war materiel, a fact not lost on the victors as they sought their various spoils. Interpretations of the Treaty of Versailles led to this <a href=\"https:\/\/wwi.lib.byu.edu\/index.php\/Peace_Treaty_of_Versailles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">odd strip of Belgium slicing through a tiny corner of Germany<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;From 23 January 1920 to 4 January 1923 the commission laboured, particularly over the problem of one section of railway: Raeren &#8211; Roetgen &#8211; Lammersdorf &#8211; Konzen &#8211; Monschau &#8211; Kalterherberg. Even though some of the lands to the west of the line were part of Kreis Monschau, which was to remain in Germany, Belgium claimed sovereignty over the trackbed of this part of the Vennbahn. The Belgians reckoned that the line was at the time an essential communication route for the eastern territory given them by the Treaty, inasmuch as it linked the ceded districts from north to south, and they argued that the line was therefore Belgian property. The commission agreed&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/patrickmuller\/14934689019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5561\/14934689019_9b613e7989_b.jpg\" alt=\"Vennbahn.

It declined to the point where it became a tourist line for people who wanted an interesting excursion, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vennbahn.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">some of it on antique steam trains<\/a>. Even that ceased by 2001. Portions of the corridor are now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railbike.be\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">used for recreational railbikes<\/a>. Others are bereft of track entirely, perhaps to become a rails-to-trails corridor eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, even with its original purpose completely erased, the narrow strip continues to remain a part of Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you understand the story a little better, let\u2019s take a look at what Street View has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1627670848177!6m8!1m7!1scQMU0ADUM40InY3lZQEkpw!2m2!1d50.52103843720823!2d6.206635710939428!3f212.7316937584508!4f-3.9145177549675907!5f0.7820865974627469\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best image looks into the southern edge of Ruitzhof and clearly shows the Belgian strip extending into the distance.
