<div id="ygrps-yiv-2097250921">According to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Sept. 12th 2001, page 14<br/>
(enclosed) the Czechs are controlling a 30,000 m² area in the Hamburg Moldau<br/>
and Saale harbour, according to the Versaille Peace agreement of 1920. The<br/>
Czechoslovak then, according to the paper, got rights to lease the territory<br/>
for 99 years, until 2019.<br/>
<br/>
For me it sounds like another Hong Kong agreement.<br/>
<br/>
The paper says the area is under Czech sovereignty, although the almost<br/>
bankcrupt Tschechoslowakische Elbe-Schiffahrtsgesellschaft (CSPL) occupying<br/>
the territory with some 30 workers, according to the CSPL home page<br/>

using ordinary Hamburg address and telephone numbers.<br/>
<br/>
Before I start digging around on this matter, maybe some of you fellows<br/>
knows more?<br/>
