<br/>
There are at least 4 towns (may be more) split by the border between<br/>
Germany and Luxembourg: Echternach, Wasserbillig, Wallendorf and<br/>
Bollendorf. They were split long time ago, at the Congress of Vienna in<br/>
1815, when the parts of Luxembourg east of the rivers Our/Sure/Moselle<br/>
were given to Prussia. There was one exception, Vianden remained<br/>
Luxembourgian in total and still has parts east of the river Sure. <br/>
