Interesting, I have the German and austrian 1:25 000 sheets, and both
seem to show a quadripoint form memory (i am out of the country at
present). I have also heard from a colleague who spoke to the
postmasteri n Jungholz that it is a point, surmounted by a cross,
typical of Alpine countries, so that it is almost impossible to stand
on the point itself. Jungholz is in the german customs and monetary
zones, though this of less consequence since austria joined the EU,
and with the Euro coming in.
