I just saw a film in TV about Burg-Reuland, a German speaking town in
Belgium.

To my surprise they said that once (only ten years ago) the
Belgian-German border was running through right through this town and
even right through the middle of a restaurant called "Jägerhaus". Later,
Germany gave its parts of Burg-Reuland to Belgium.

I never heard of that before! Does anybody know what they are refering
to?

I can't imagine that they are refering to Burg-Reuland itself, because
it is too far away from the border. May be they are refering to the
small town of Stoubach/Stupbach (the Belgian part of this town does
belong to Burg-Reuland as far as I know)? But I thought that the border
still runs through this town???
