+alsterdrache Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hi folks, there used to be a historic border between Altona (back in the old days the second largest city of the Kingdom of Denmark) and Hamburg. Altona today is just a district of Hamburg, finally incorporated in 1937. But the old state border is still visible by border stones integrated into modern pavement. This is a piece of fascinating history that one can only find in Europe, I guess: http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WMMKJ6_Historic_border_stone_Altona_Hamburg_Hamburg_Germany The group managers of "Border Crossings" declined it, saying that it's not an existing border. Depending on what you defind as a border, it's still the border between two city districts in the end but well, they just don't want it in their category. I was looking for an alternative but haven't found one yet. Can anyone help me please? Thanks, Alex Quote Link to comment

+BruceS Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Glad I could help. Not a category I have submitted many to so I was not sure if it would work. Quote Link to comment
