Denmark is so organized that they know everything
about you.
I read the bedroom story many years ago. A family
staying right on the municipality line (can't remember where to my own regret)
and was to expand there house or move bedroom. Moving bedroom would in their
case mean moving municipality, but they managed to get the two involved
municipalities to do a border revision, which meant they stayed in the
municipality.
I don't think there are that many divided houses
on municipality lines in Denmark, however on the Copenhagen-Frederiksberg
border, there is a divided supermarket, a divided take away and a
divided (abandonded) car workshop. The big medical company Novo Nordisk has
buildings on each side of the border and have bridges connecting the
buildings. The brewery Carlsberg's grounds do or did also straddle
the border. On maps I have seen a building where the border changes
direction twice, but the buildings straddling the borders
are gone, and that's why I am not sure if ground still belong to
Carlsberg.
A metro station opening later this year is
also being build on the line.
After Frederiksberg put up a GIS site, it
looks like there is a shopping street where the border does not follow the
house walls (making the shops pene enclaves), but 10 or so centimeters
inside the shop, but this is unconfirmed.
The border does not divided any flats, but it
does divide a house with flats, leaving half in each country.
As Doug and Mike is comming to Copenhagen
next week, I might plan to show them the divided shopping street if they
are interested. I will see if I can make a scan of the street.

Jesper,
>In Denmark you live in the
municipality where you bedroom is.
How on earth do the authorities
know where your bedroom is?
>In Baarle (BE/NL) who live in the
country where you main door is.
At least it's reasonably impractical
for most people to move their front
door (although I know it's happened)
;-)
