Hello,
and yes, correct: There are two towns in Germany with the same name
Frankfurt:
One is in central Germany called Frankfurt on the Maine river where
all the big German banks have their headquartes, and the other one in
the East in Brandenburg county: Frankfurt on the Oder. (=90.000
inhabitants)
Admittedly Frankfurt on the oder always sort of is in the shadow of
its big name brother.
But no, I was serious: in fact the GERMAN-Polish border pages
(forgive my writing mistake 'Dutch-Polish') have been uploaded this
morning and the links have been fixed, so you can have a look at the
unknown Frankfurt on the oder now.
Actually I have only seen one tripoint in my life: that's the Dutch-
German-Belgian border naar Aachen/Vaals.
The Basle/Switzerland story has been delayed to 2001, but new
pictures of the Dutch-Belgian border are on its way.
best regards
Bernd
