<div id="ygrps-yiv-1577334327">I thought about the Ger-Aut condominium question and I recalled <br/>
reading something some time ago about the status of Lake Constance <br/>
(Bodensee). Is it true that the lake is a condominium of Germany, <br/>
Austria and Switzerland? I&#39;ve just done a search but the only thing <br/>
of relevance I can find is this page (in German):<br/>

As far as I can see there is a condominium, but it&#39;s only recognised <br/>
by Germany and Austria. Is this correct?<br/>

&gt; Before WW1, Germany has a long border with Austro-Hungary. Perhaps <br/>
the <br/>
&gt; referecne is to the Silesian coalfields where the mines crossed the <br/>
border <br/>
&gt; around Katowitz?<br/>

&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;Friends,<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;I have procured a copy of the &quot;Grenzvermessung<br/>
&gt; &gt;Deutschland-Luxemburg&quot; from the Landesvermessungsamt<br/>
&gt; &gt;of Rheinland-Pfalz.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;I don&#39;t know if this is old news by now, but it<br/>
&gt; &gt;seems that the condominum stems from the Grenzvertrag<br/>
&gt; &gt;vom 26. Juni 1816 zwischen die Niederlande und Preussen.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;The first paragraph of Article 27th says (my translation):<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;Everywhere where waterways constitute the border,<br/>
&gt; &gt;shall the waterway belong equally to both states,<br/>
&gt; &gt;unless otherwise is specifically stated.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;In an interesting note (note 87, page 53) the condominium<br/>
&gt; &gt;situation is compared to other such situations, and the<br/>
&gt; &gt;border between Germany and Austria is mentioned.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;Is there another condominium down there? Does anyone<br/>
&gt; &gt;know? Should we hunt for it?<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
