First, sorry to e-mail recipients for large attachment but I think
it's worth to be archived and file area is full. Tried my softwares
best to compress the large map and keep acceptable quality. Enjoy ...

We had this before, Berlin not only had exclaves, there was 1 enclave
belonging to the community of Seeburg in Pichelsdorf / Tiefwerder ,
district of Spandau. See messages ...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/7611
... and following for first discussion.

Attachment #1

Now I found a [small :-(] copy of an official map in a book with this
enclave marked. That map deals with the British-Soviet territory
exchange in 1945, where Gatow airfield came to British sector and
West-Staaken to Soviet zone. The enclave was not subject of that
treaty but anyway found in the map. The scan of that copy is bad,
original bookcopy isn't much better but I safely read "Zu Seeburg"
in the marked area. Compare this with the map in ...

... that mark is incorrect, this is much better and matches perfectly
with ...

Attachment #2

from the 1962 cadastral map "Karte von Berlin 1:4000". The area boun-
dary is marked as a normal property boundary, if it were recognized
as an enclave the boundary mark would be +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ ...

Some more background from Dieter Schroeder article mentioned earlier.
During the 1971 terr. exch. negotiations the Seeburg enclave was
first mentioned officially and offered by GDR to West-Berlin.
The British Allied rejected that offer. They recognized it as part
of Seeburg but denied any rights to the East German state as well as
the West-Berlin authorities didn't have rights on that territory.
There was no statement from the Soviets. So from British point of
view, the Seeburg enclave couldn't be part of a GDR territory offer.

The West-Berlin weekend campers didn't care anyway.

(Still didn't find BK/L (63)11 from 1963 where Berlin authorities
were advised to keep off.)
