Yes, I don't know what the story is here. from bieng there, the signs on the
road imply the road is Belgian. The boundary stones do too. That the end of
this road was perhaps given to Germany is not illogical, but some maps show
this and some don't. I suspect that Germany is allowed to maintian the road
as it is only connecting Germany to Germany, and belgian authorities might
overlook it or give it low priority otherwise.
I suspect the B258 through Belgium is the same, especially as that WAS
German post war.
The date of my Belgian map is 2000.The 1998 German 1:25000 wanderkarte (1994
topo information, 1997 tourist info) does NOT show it as German. Belgian
1:10 000 map 43/8, 1999 shows it as German. the 1:10 000 map also shows no
boundary stone at the east side of the road as it heads north out of the
enclave, while the German map does.
Belgian 1:100 000 map 113, 1989 does not show the road as German, but the
scale is probably too small.
Belgian 1:205 000 map 43/7-8 DOES show it as German, with a stone labelled
"K3" halfway up the eastern sode of the road. , but no stones either side of
it where it leaves the enclave.

Unfortunately, the 1:10 000 shows the section of railway where the road
crosses it back into Germany as being German, which is NOT correct. 1:25 000
map shows the railway as entirely Belgian.

This needs someone who can speak German asking the farmer at the farm on
the road where it laves the enclave what the story is. I tried to speak to
him, butr he didn't appear to have any French, nor english, only a dog!

A mission for the GCEBE!
