Pfetterhouse (Pfetterhausen in German) on the former DE side (Upper-<br/>
Alsace, Alsace-Lorraine; nowadays Upper-Rhine, Alsace, FR), and <br/>
Beurnevésin on the CH side (before 1979 in Bern, nowadays in Jura <br/>
canton).<br/>

&gt; the binational tripoint formed by the french regions of alsace & <br/>
&gt; franche compte with the swiss canton of jura<br/>
&gt; <br/>
