Schengen (Luxembourg)

As early as 1818, the border between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of the United Netherlands, which was created in 1815 by merging the southern Netherlands (approximately present-day Belgium) and the northern Netherlands, was determined.

It was then determined that Luxembourg fell under the German Confederation, but the Dutch king (William I) became the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

In the south-east, Luxembourg has a tripoint with France and Germany. The exact tripoint is in the middle of the river Moselle. At this exact point, there is a buoy and on the Luxembourg side of the bank there is a border stone.

In addition to the fact that the border stone count started from Schengen, Schengen is known for the Treaty for the (gradual) abolition of border controls (1985) and the Implementation Agreement to this end (1990). The treaties were signed on board the ms. 'Prinses Marie-Astrid', which was moored at the buoy.

Besides all this interesting info, there's more to tell about the borderline up North from the 3i-point at Schengen.

Since 1815 (Vienna Treaty) the borders are situated on both sides of the 'Moselle', on the landside. That indicates that the river itselves became than a condominium.
