Moresnet - A Neutral Area by Kit Batten 1. VIERLÄNDERBLICK - "Four Borders View" Postcard showing the 4 stones together with customs officers and a sketch map of area The Neutral Zone - or Vierländereck (literally four-lands-corner) - was a popular motif for postcards from the turn of the nineteenth century until the beginning of the First World War. At the most northerly point of this Neutral Zone stood (and indeed still stand) four stone memorials. Each one represented a different country (Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and the Neutral Area of Moresnet) and the point at which these four countries met. Postcards simply depicting the stones were very popular (Fig.1) . Another such card shows the stones and "Grenzwach" (border guards) officers responsible for the border, from each of the neighbouring countries. In addition a basic sketch map of the location of the Vierländereck, or four countries corner, can be found left (Fig.2). 2. Four marker stones -
