Inner German border - Federal Republic of Germany / GDR

Berlin wall
  • Land border: Berlin from 1949 to 1990. Berlin was the largest city that was ever divided by a border. The city was divided into four sectors in 1945 as a result of the Second World War (see division of Berlin ). The Soviet sector later de facto belonged to the GDR , the three western sectors ( West Berlin ) were claimed by the Federal Republic of Germany . But they did not belong to their national territory. Since 1990, both halves of the city have again had a joint administration as the Land Berlin of the Federal Republic of Germany.
  • River border: Bleckede - in 1945 the Elbe became the border between the British and Soviet zones; thus the right-Elbe district of Neu Bleckede was separated from the city and occupied by the Soviets. In 1993 he was incorporated back into Bleckede.
  • River border: The municipality of Garge , like the nearby Bleckede, was divided along the Elbe in 1945 between the British and Soviet zones. The western part ( Alt Garge ) later belonged to the Federal Republic, the eastern part ( Neu Garge ) to the GDR. Today both are part of Lower Saxony, but belong to different communities.
  • Former river border: Until 1945, the municipality of Offleben in the state of Braunschweig was separated from the municipality of Preußisch Offleben in the Prussian district of Haldensleben by the Wirpke stream . In 1945, when the occupation zones were divided, the village was not divided and Preußisch Offleben and Offleben were included in the British zone of occupation .
  • Land border: Berlin-Staaken 1945 to 1990 - The eastern part of Staaken belonged to the West Berlin district of Spandau, the western part formed its own municipality in the Potsdam district in the GDR from 1952 ; since reunification all of Staaken has belonged to Berlin.

Former state border, today's county border

  • Krummesse in Schleswig-Holstein is roughly two thirds a municipality in the Duchy of Lauenburg and one third is a district of Lübeck . The boundary between the administrative units is so closely intertwined that it sometimes goes through individual houses. Therefore, any boundary markings are dispensed with. The sign shows Krummesse only as an independent municipality.
  • Köthel is a village that is divided by the Bille . The river was formerly the state border between the duchies of Lauenburg and Holstein and is now the district border between the districts of the duchy of Lauenburg and Stormarn
