Colleagues,

By chance i found the article "Recent Changes in the
Benelux-German Boundary", Lewis M Alexander, The
Geographical Rewiew (don't know year and volume as
I have only a Xerox copy, but probably late fifties
or sixties).

It says about Kammerwald: "Belgium was granted all
her demands [on Germany], but Luxembourg was awarded
only a strip of land along the Our River, some eight
square miles in area, containing one German village
of about 130 inhabitants. The strip adjoined the
Vianden bridgehead and included a state forest, the
Kammerwald."

Later on: "At the same time the Luxembourg government
announced that it would occupy only the uninhabited
Kammerwald and leave the rest of the area alone. [...]
It seems unlikely now that Luxembourg sovereignity
will ever be exercised over the inhabitants."

I know there is a hunt for condominiums going on in
this group, but I'm afraid I haven't really followed
the debate. Hence, if my information is obsolete
or off topic I apologize.

An executive summary as to what we know about the
number and locality of one or more delu condominiums
would be greatly appreciated.
