<div id="ygrps-yiv-1885890400">1:5000 mapping of the roetgen enclaves is available fomr the <br/>
Nordrhein-Westphalian survey office.<br/>
<br/>
Unfortunately they don&#39;t take credit cards (Europeans are very backward in <br/>
this regard).<br/>

Landesvermessungsamt Nordrhein-Westfalen, Boad Godesberg, Muffendorfer Str <br/>
19-21, 53177 Bonn, Germany<br/>
<br/>
Their Deutche Grundkarte is a xerox of the black and white (with brown <br/>
contours) 1:5000 map that most of the LAnd produce.<br/>
Each sheet covers 2x2km, but the sheet lines do not match up with those on <br/>
the 1:25 000 mapping or smaller scales.<br/>
They come close however, and you can&#39;t go too far wrong than to quote the <br/>
1:25k sheet number, then a second number, from 1 to 36, being 6 rows of 6 <br/>
numbered rowsie fomr the top left: 1 to 6, next row 7-12 etc. The 36 sheets <br/>
corresponding to a 1:25 000 sheet cover an area slightly greater than that <br/>
sheet.<br/>
<br/>
The BeDeNe tript is on sheet Heldsruh, 5202/14. This sheet seems to go as <br/>
far as the little salient shown in the last email. However, no detail inside <br/>
Ne or Be is shown, but border stones are marked.<br/>
<br/>
For the Roetgen enclaves, the necessary sheeets are:<br/>
5303/9,10 and 16 for the northernmost enclave, then <br/>
5303/156,17,18,19,22,23,24 and 25 for the second one at Roetgen<br/>
<br/>
The third, smallest enclave, near Monschau is shown on 5403/1<br/>
The fourth enclave, at Monschau is on 5403/15,6,10,11,12,16 &17<br/>
The fifth, southernmost enclave at Monschau is on 5403/22 &23.<br/>
The little salient that was halved in size just below this 5th enclave, in <br/>
the 1950s, is on sheet 5403/28.<br/>
<br/>
Remember that Belgian detail is not shown, except for the railway line that <br/>
created the enclaves. Border pillars along the maiin boundary and the <br/>
railline are shown.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Prices are 15DM without contours, 18 with, and 18 for contours and cadastral <br/>
info overlaid, but I think that clutters it up too much.<br/>
Code names for the series are DGK5 N for contours, DGK5 G for uncontoured, <br/>
and DGK5 Bo for contours and cadaster.<br/>
So the tripoint sheet with contours is DGK5 N 5202/14.<br/>
<br/>
The extracts included here are of:<br/>
<br/>
1) The smallest enclave, the middle one, consisting of one house and a <br/>
couple of small pasture fields.<br/>
<br/>
2) The railway station at Monschau. Note how the road, German, cuts into the <br/>
Belgian station land.<br/>
<br/>
3)the narrow gap between the two northernmost enclaves at Roetgen, where the <br/>
railline swings back into mainland Belgium for just a few metres before <br/>
swinging out again.<br/>
<br/>
4) The traffic island now on the border of belgium, inside the second of the <br/>
two Roetgen enclaves, that used to be an enclave itself when the Germans <br/>
owned the road south from here towards Monschau. The island is a parking <br/>
spot with a prefab cafe. On the southern side of the road is a hotel/small <br/>
supermarket/liquorshop.<br/>
<br/>
The extracts included here are from contour maps, but no cadastral info<br/>
