"German Window" in Leidingen refers to the so-called "border view windows" in the town's two churches, which mark the German-French border. Leidingen, a district of Wallerfangen, lies exactly on the border, with the "Neutral Street" (in French, "Rue de la frontière") forming the border between Germany and France. The border view windows in the churches allow one to look through them into the respective neighboring country.

View from the German church to the French, through the symbolic window to the neighbor.
