A field near Würzburg (Gadheim) has moved into the center of the international community. At least geographically, because at 9 degrees, 54 minutes, 7 seconds east longitude and 49 degrees, 50 minutes, 35 seconds north latitude is now the focus of the new, downsized European Union after Brexit.

Apparently, different localities claim this title, which is more interesting for tourist purposes, since there are also different methods of calculation. Due to the accession of Croatia in 2013, this point was e.g. in the district of Aschaffenburg in Oberwestern for a long time.

This later changed again with the accession of the French overseas department of Mayotte, an archipelago north-west of Madagascar. Crazy actually!

The current center resulted from a "reduction" as a result of Brexit.

All in all a nice place with lots of information and beautiful photo opportunities. If you're around, take it with you. Tarred dirt road available up to the point.
