<div id="ygrps-yiv-649529202">The smallest (3rd) Vennbahn enclave is 1.65ha, 16500square metres, or equal <br/>
to a sqaure 130m on a side. It is thus over 10 times larger than the <br/>
smallest Indian enclave for which we have data.<br/>
It is not quite rectangular, but about 100m N-S and 150m E-W.<br/>
I measured it using a planimeter, so it is measured off the map.<br/>
<br/>
Also attached are 1973 and 1983 municipal maps of Belgium, cropped to the <br/>
enclave area. The 1983 map shows the Germanophone region by the dots along <br/>
the municipal boundaries.<br/>
The 1973 map has dates penciled in by me along some boundaries, showing <br/>
where the Belg-German boundary was at several time periods.<br/>
The two maps show the situation before and after Belgian municipal <br/>
roorganisations. I also have a 1990s map, but there is no difference in the <br/>
Vennbahn region.<br/>
