Yes, in the case of DENL, the other "bigger" area that became Dutch
in 1949 and German again in 1963 was the village of Elten, near
Emmerich. Other, much smaller areas where at various other points
along the boundary, e.g. in Suderwick, opposite Dinxperlo.

As far as I know, all areas were returned to Germany in 1963, with
the exception of an area between Beek (NL) and Zyfflich (DE), known
as the "Duivelsberg" (Devil's mountain). This area is still Dutch.
