Hello Brendan,

I have managed a few more paragraphs.

However, my email program has destroyed your last mail, where you asked me to check a section you had
translated earlier.

I will retrieve that message from the group archive and answer it next.

Meanwhile, here is the slightly longer text which now includes sheets 1 to 4.

Note: I have marked my additions with [ ... ] and my comments with { ... }
Please check for grammar within these enormously long sentences!

Boundary Correction Treaty of 30 January 1844 1) between Austria and Bavaria concerning the international
boundary between the Principal Earldom of Tirol and Vorarlberg on the one hand and the Kingdom of Bavaria on
the other, from Scheibelberg mountain at the Salzburg boundary [through] to Lake Constance. 2)

(Ratified by His Majesty the Emperor of Austria on 14 September 1844, by His Majesty the King of Bavaria on
23 April 1844, [ratification documents] exchanged in Munich on 24 October 1844.)

His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and His Majesty the King of Bavaria,

inspired with the same desire, to strengthen the friendly-neighbourly relations existing between the two
Courts, to remove in a thorough manner the remaining differences at the boundary between the Principal
Earldom of Tirol with Vorarlberg on the one hand and the Kingdom of Bavaria on the other hand, and to
prevent for the future a recurrence of such boundary irritations, have united in the present resolution, to
carry out a rigorous boundary rectification, and for this purpose have the entire said land boundary,
[stretching] from the boundary point at Scheibelberg mountain, where the boundaries of Salzburg, Tirol and
Bavaria meet, [through] to Lake Constance evaluated by special commissioners, and to have determined the
correct boundary location or the location most suitable to local conditions, based on the older treaties or
on the existing traditions based on the friendly compensation of contentious claims, to have described and
then demarcated [the boundary] permanently.
For this purpose,
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria based on an authorization issued by His Majesty Emperor Franz I in 1832,
named and authorized {I find the exact title of the Gentleman impossible to translate} Allerhöchst-Ihren
nunmehrigen Hofrath Daniel Mensi, Knight of Klarbach, Knight of the Imperial and Royal Austrian Order of
Leopold, and bearer of the Silver Civil Cross of Honour;
His Majesty the King of Bavaria,
named and authorized first the {I find the exact title of the Gentleman impossible to translate}
Allerhöchst-Ihren then Supreme Councillor of the Court of Appeal Franz Xaver Sigriz, and after his
withdrawal from this matter for the final conclusion of it, since 1843 {I find the exact title of the
Gentleman impossible to translate} Allerhöchst-Ihren Legation Councillor at the Ministry of the Royal
Household and Foreign Affairs Franz von Paula Auer, Knight of the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle 4th Class;

and after the plenipotentiaries have already visited the entire length of the boundary in 1833, 1834 and
1835, the detailed deliberations, however, have been layed down in a common conference protocol, started 18
September 1832 and concluded 30 January 1844, have also undertaken the necessary technical preparations for
the future demarcation, the undersigned, after the exchange of their authorizations and subject to the
Supreme Ratification on both sides, have agreed on the following boundary rectification treaty.

of Bavaria on the other hand, having been partitioned for the purpose of demarcation and excluding the wet
boundary in the River Inn, into three sections, namely:
1. The stretch from Scheibelberg mountain to the River Inn;
2. the [stretch] from the left bank of the River Inn to the River Lech;
3. the stretch from the River Lech to Lake Constance
shall be fixed and bilaterally recognized from the day of exchange of ratification documents according to
the provisions of this treaty.

Supplementary Treaty of 16 December 1850, supplementing the Boundary Correction Treaty between Austria and
Bavaria, signed in Munich, 30 January 1844, concerning the international boundary of the Principal Earldom
of Tirol with Vorarlberg on the one hand and the Kingdom of Bavaria on the other hand, from Scheibelberg
mountain to Lake Constance.

(Ratified by His Majesty the Emperor of Austria on 17 May 1854, by His Majesty the King of Bavaria on 29
April 1854, [ratification documents] exchanged in Munich on 7 July 1854.)

After the proceedings had been concluded for supplementing and completing as well as determine their further
application in all its parts the articles of the State Treaty between Austria and Bavaria concerning the
international boundary of the Principal Earldom of Tirol with Vorarlberg on the one hand and the Kingdom of
Bavaria on the other hand, signed 30 January 1844 and subsequently ratified by the High Parties, the two
commissioners appointed by the two High Governments, i.e.:

for Austria
The Imperial and Royal Hofrath Daniel Mensi, Knight of Klarbach, Knight of the Imperial and Royal Austrian
Order of Leopold, bearer of the Silver Civil Cross of Honour and Commenthur of the Royal Bavarian Order of
St. Michael {I find the exact title of the Gentleman impossible to translate};

for Bavaria
The Royal Bavarian Ministerial Councillor (Ministerialrath) at the Ministry of the Royal Household and
Foreign Affairs, Daniel Gustav von Bezold, Commenthur of the Royal Bavarian Order of St. Michael etc. {I
find the exact title of the Gentleman impossible to translate} have convened in Munich for the purpose of
concluding the further agreement as stipulated in the state treaty mentioned at the beginning.

After meticulous examination and subsequent acknowledgement of the corresponding preparatory work [carried
out] by the technicians of both sides, the two above-mentioned plenipotentiaries, on the basis of the common
conference protocol of 11 December of this year and subject to the High ratification, have agreed on the
following

Supplementary Treaty to the Boundary Correction Treaty of 30 January 1844:

Art. I. The Appendix lit A to Article III of the State Treaty, 1844, appended and corrected according to the
provisions of Article XXXVII of the State Treaty of 30 January and thus completely updated, i.e. the tabular
demarcation document for boundary section 1, namely from Scheibelberg mountain to the river Inn, together
with the associated introduction is now declared to be the only valid version and to be integral part of the
ratified State Treaty, and thus the former Appendix lit. A is [declared to be] no longer in force.

Art. II. The tabular demarcation document for Article V of the treaty and for the second boundary section
from the left bank of river Inn to river Lech declared in Article VI of the State Treaty as Appendix lit. B
to be an integral part of the former {the State Treaty I believe} remains unchanged.

Art. III. The exchange of territories alluded to in Articles XV, XVI and XXXII around the Austrian district
of the town of Jungholz as well as the district of Bröger against a part of the Bavarian district of
Rohrmoos has been dropped by both sides.

Art. IV. After the boundary in Section III has now been definitely determined, the tabular demarcation
document for this Section is herewith declared to be Appendix lit. C to Article VIII of this State Treaty
and thus an integral part of it, according to Articles X and XI of the State Treaty of 30 January 1844.

Art. V. As an Appendix to the description of the boundary in its Section III and referring to Article XVI of
the State Treaty and to Article III of this Supplementary Treaty, the word-by-word description of the
boundary line is now appended by the town district of Jungholz now remaining with Austria as follows:

The international boundary of the district of the town of Jungholz, connected to Tirol only on the highest
peak of Steinberg mountain and otherwise completely surrounded by Bavarian territory, belonging to Tirol,
Imperial and Royal regional superior court district of Ehrenberg, starts at the marking in rock no. 110 of
the IIIrd boundary section on the highest peak of Steinberg mountain.

From there, the international boundary, simultaneously boundary of the Royal bavarian regional superior
court district of Sonthofen, stretches along the ridge towards the south-west, down to Riederspitz or
Sorgschrofen {other mountain peaks?}

As no boundary marking can be applied at this peak itself, this [boundary point] is described by a new mark
cut into the rock No. I at a distance of 26 Bavarian feet and 24 Viennese feet in the direction of No. 110.

Further along the north-west leading ridge down to the mark in rock no. II (which is looking towards the
Sorgalpe), down below at the rock, where a Tobel (ditch) starts.

Along the private markings towards the north to the new marker stone No. III at the first (uppermost)
Jungholz private forest portion in the Aelpele.

Along the fence, which divides the Saualpe from Bavaria, to the new marker stone No. IV at the end of the
Aelpele and start of the Scherbeneck in Jungholz.

Further along the said fence to the new marker stone No. V on the left bank of Zimmerholzbach brook and
further along said fence, until the fence reaches Zimmerholzbach brook after 19 5/10 Bavarian feet or 18
Viennese feet.

In the middle of Zimmerholzbach brook downstream until it opnes out into Wertbach river.

At the described boundary path within Zimmerholzbach brook, at the spot where the driving path from farms in
the town of Jungholz towards Unterjoch cuts across the brook, both on the Bavarian and on the Tirolean side
at the same distance from the brook, new marker stones are erected as indicators for the centre of the
brook, both carrying the same number VI.

To designate the mouth of Zimmerholzbach brook into river Wertach, a new marker stone with number VII as
indicator is erected opposite [the mouth], on the left bank of river Wertach.

The boundary runs along the middle of river Wertach downstream until the spot, where the Mühlbach [mill
brook] from the farms (in Jungholz) opens out into the Wertach at its right bank.

This mouth is designated by a new marker stone with number VIII as indicator is erected opposite of it.

Upstream the middle of the said Mühlenbach [mill brook] until the beginning of the forest on the right bank,
belonging to the township of Giesenschwand in Jungholz.

At the described boundary path at the bridge, over which runs the driving path from Wertach to Jungholz,
along the path both on the Bavarian and on the Tirolean side at the same distance from the Mühlbach [mill
brook], new marker stones are erected as indicators for the centre of the brook, both carrying the same
number IX.

From the point where the forest belonging to the township of Giesenschwand meets the Mühlbach [mill brook],
the boundary leaves the middle of the brook, and runs towards the north-west along the private property
boundary to the new marker stone No. X on the right bank of the brook.

Along the private property boundary, where a fence has been erected, to the new marker stone No. XI at a
bend in the fence.

Along the fence to the new marker stone to the new marker stone No. XII above the left bank of Holderbach
brook.

Along the private property boundary into Holderbach brook.

Along the middle of the brook upstream, until the brook emanating from Jungholzer Bremen (name of several
forest parts) opens out into its left bank.
