between Thuringia and Bavaria a couple of centuries ago (The <br/>
territories originally involved might have been different, but <br/>
Thuringia and Bavaria &quot;inherited&quot; the split, thus FRG and GDR did <br/>
too - can&#39;t find websites about the exact reason or timespan of the <br/>
border regulations right now ...), and was thus split by the Iron <br/>
Curtain during 1945/1990. <br/>
