<div id="ygrps-yiv-2146744231">Mention has been made here before about the section of Hamburg harbor<br/>
that was forcibly leased by Germany to Czechoslovakia for 99 years<br/>
under the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. The Czech operating company<br/>
went belly-up, and the Czech Republic announced recently that just<br/>
because it had no operator, it was still going to maintain its lease. <br/>
<br/>
The treaty also provides for the same in Stettin.  Does anyone know if<br/>
the DDR ever kept it&#39;s part of the bargain?  Anyone have any map of<br/>
the harbor showing the leased area?<br/>
<br/>
Are there any more leased areas around the world these days, outside<br/>
of Tin Bigha?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks <br/>
