Part of what was Thuringia yesterday belongs to Bavaria today. Examples:
Coburg and Ostheim are Bavarian today. Some of the border "corrections"
happened as a result of WW II, or, in other words, since the American
retreat from occupied Thuringia did not stop exactly where the former
borders were.
Similar "corrections" happened in the city of Mainz (just accidentally where
the map comes from): Mainz-Kastel, previously part of Mainz, now capital of
Rhineland-Palatine, now belongs to Hesse, because the Americans wanted to
have the river as a border, and occasionally rumblings shatter the city,
mostly around carneval, to review and revise the border and return to the
"good old times".

somewhat better map
http://www.ieg-maps.uni-mainz.de/gif/71th_a4.htm
confirms the only 2 likely locations for bavaria coburg meinengen tripoints
but i find the present landkreise borders within thuringia dont seem to
follow any of these
historic borders
& moreover good maps of these have proved elusive
at this point my impression & hunch are that both these tripoints are only
ghosts
whichever of them you may have found the picture of
but whoever rides the new iron curtain tripointing bike trail should keep an
eye out for
them
of course along with the 7 modern tristate points
