<div id="ygrps-yiv-1675762421">By &quot;whatever it was or should have been called,&quot; I was referring only to the<br/>
name on the sign:  &quot;Extraterritoriales Gebiet,&quot; which seems to have sparked some<br/>
debate.<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;ve been experimenting with on-line translation engines (without which I would<br/>
be completely lost in German).  The words &quot;Extraterritoriales Gebiet&quot; are<br/>
commonly rendered into English as &quot;Extraterritorial Area,&quot; but the word &quot;extra&quot;<br/>
(by itself) translates from German to English as &quot;specially.&quot;  (Google, Babel<br/>
Fish, and Tsunami all agree.)  Perhaps, &quot;Extraterritoriales Gebiet&quot; means a<br/>
&quot;Specially Territorial Area&quot; (which it certainly was), rather than an area that<br/>
was extraterritorial in the usual English-language sense of that term.<br/>
<br/>
By the way, at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/dtowe">http://tinyurl.com/dtowe</a> there&#39;s a review in English of a book in <br/>
German that covers the history of these &quot;Alliierte Militärmissionen&quot; in West and <br/>
East.<br/>

&gt; Welcome.  It didn&#39;t really have a name - other than the Russian<br/>
&gt; kaserne in Niederrad. When I was stationed in Frankfurt, we were told<br/>
&gt; to not visit the place, if we got caught in the area, we could have<br/>
&gt; been court martialled.  I went there later as a civilian and took some<br/>
&gt; pictures, and caused quite a scene - but they didn&#39;t take my camera -<br/>
&gt; I still have the shots somewhere.<br/>
