It seems to be just as you say, the way I read the German version of
the treaty that revised the old one. I was suprised to learn that
this condo has existed since about the 1830s, and that the 20th
century treaty was a revision of the original. The river has had
plenty of time to accrete... but the map shows a wide variance between
water and shore south of Wasserbillig - at least 20-30 meters at a
couple of places. Amost as though sand banks count as water.

At the time when Luxembourg had been assimilated into the
Grossdeutschesreich in the 1940s, the condo must not have existed. It
may be that in WW I it ceased to exist, too. I wonder what document
brought it back into being.

"....to which i would only add at this point on further reflection
that i think all the condo markers must be indirect or witness monuments
since the legal riverbank limits of the condo are evidently accreting &
decreasing every
which way all the time with every change in the levels of the rivers
& that the condo borders are thus in fact not static
as they would have been if the markers were direct
but are always in flux with the actual waterlines on the banks

or isnt that legally & definitively so"
