<div id="ygrps-yiv-1477707173">On the border between Lithuania and Russia in the Lithuanian town of<br/>
Vistytis, on the northern shore of Lake Vistytis we found remainings of a<br/>
probably German boundary marker from the 19th century. It is still the only<br/>
marker to be found on the present ltru boundary at this place.<br/>
The de facto ltru boundary is still the same as the former deru boundary.<br/>
(We also found rests of a hexagonal German boundary marker on the southern<br/>
shore of the same lake, but of this only 1-2 cm was visible above the<br/>
ground.)<br/>
On this first mentioned marker I could read &quot;BOCHUM 1877 [] ST&quot;. I am not<br/>
quite sure if it should read 1877 or 1811. The last two digits are hard to<br/>
read. Does somebody have some idea what this means?<br/>
