that on the Polish side of the bridge the German kilometre posts by <br/>
the track continued for a short distance and there was a German sign <br/>
saying something like &quot;Oderbrücke Grenze&quot;, after which the kilometre <br/>
posts became Polish ones. Presumably this just marks a boundary <br/>
between the German and Polish railways (DB/PKP) as I assume the <br/>
German railways are responsible for the whole maintenance of the <br/>
bridge? But is the small parcel of land on the Polish side of the <br/>
bridge which seems to belong to the German railways actually <br/>
sovereign German land?<br/>
