When pilgrims from the Rhineland, who are on the route (around two and a half thousand kilometers long) to Santiago de Compostela to the grave of Saint James, reach the German-French border here in the border triangle (Perl / Schengen / Apach), the first milestone has been achieved.
The further route can - for example - via Metz, Cluny, Dijon, Le Puy en Velay, then further through the southern foothills of the Massif Central through the Aubrac, towards the Pyrenees to Saint Jean Pied de Port, and from there to Spain on the "Camino frances".

Border path on the Hammelsberg

In 870, Lotharingen (later Lorraine) was founded after the death of Lothar Il. divided between the East and West Frankish Empires by the Treaty of Mersen. The border triangle becomes part of the East Franconian Empire. The Hammelsberg near Perl becomes a national border for the first time, separating the kingdom of Louis the German from the kingdom of Charles the Bald. In the Treaty of Vincennes in 1661, the Duke of Lorraine had to cede control of Sierck-les-Bains and 30 other villages to the French king. The French border comes into the border triangle for the first time. Today this path on the Hammelsberg forms the open border between France and Germany with a view of neighboring Luxembourg.

The border square at Hasenberg

The Perler Hasenberg is one of the most sought-after vineyards in the entire region. It was not without reason that the then Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II reported. at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 as part of the territorial distributions made demands on the wine-growing location. He wanted this good location with its first-class wine to be part of his area. Today's somewhat unusual "square" border is due to this wish. As part of the Congress of Vienna, Luxembourg nominally became an independent Grand Duchy, linked in personal union with the Kingdom of the Netherlands under the kings of the House of Nassau-Orange. Unlike the other regions of the newly created kingdom, Luxembourg was part of the German Confederation. Source: Text information board
