Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Steinstücken - DDR counter exclave ? (1/1)
 
I hope somebody can please answer a question which has been puzzling me
for the past 24 years!

I still have the 1977 edition of the FalkPlan streetmap of Berlin which I
bought while I was there. It just about includes Steinstücken (by then no
longer a true exclave of West Berlin) as a "bleed" on the south-west
corner edge of the map.

I've attached a scan of this map corner. Note that between the "nh" of
Bernhard-Beyer-Strasse and the railway line there appears to be a red
boundary line enclosing a very small area. Is this an area of DDR land? If
so is it a contender for world's smallest exclave? Or is it just a
printing error? (Which I think it is!)

Also note the DDR near-exclave to the north-west at Neu-Babelsberg.

Just for interest I've also attached a scan showing how the same map
portrays the exclaves of Erlengrund and Fichtewiese. (The red "house"
symbol by the path leading to the border crossing point is an inn or
restaurant.)
