Description:

Did you know that Germany and Luxembourg share one of the most unique borders in the world? Unlike the standard practice of splitting a river down the middle, the Moselle River, which forms their border, is a shared territory—making it a condominium! This unusual arrangement also includes the islands and bridges along the river. Even more fascinating, the tripoint between Luxembourg, France, and Germany is located right in the middle of the river at Schengen, the village that gave its name to the Schengen Area. Dive into this fascinating border story!

Transcript:

Germany and Luxembourg have the widest border. This is because Germany and Luxembourg kind of changed the rules of bordering. You see, The border between the two is a river, the Moselle River, and Usually, when a river marks the border between two countries a standard middle point is used, but in this case, instead of the middle line, the border is actually the entire river.
The river is considered to be part of both countries making it a condominium and the same applies for the islands and the bridges across the river.
What’s interesting is that if we move south, we’ll pop into the tripoint border between Luxembourg, France and Germany which is located in the middle of the river in the village called Schengen, which gave the name to the Schengen area.
