Turn on the B 265

Kehr is a village in the Eifel, which is divided into two halves by the German - Belgian border. The border runs in a north-south direction along the federal highway 265, which runs right through the town . The state border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate also affects the town, which thus extends over three municipal areas:

• The eastern half of Kehr belongs to the municipality of Hellenthal in the Euskirchen district and is the southernmost place in North Rhine-Westphalia. Approx. 1.5 km to the southwest lies the southernmost point of North Rhine-Westphalia ( 50 ° 19 ′ 22 ″  N , 6 ° 25 ′ 32 ″  E ) on the border with Rhineland-Palatinate on the Losheimer Landgraben .
• The western half of Kehr belongs to the eastern Belgian municipality of Büllingen , where the easternmost point of Belgium is located.
• In the extreme northeast of the village there are some buildings that already belong to Rhineland-Palatinate: The area “Zur Kehr” / “Zollhaus Kehr” is part of the Hallschlag municipality .
