Baarle: The town where borders run riot
In Baarle, a town on the Belgian-Dutch border, national borders run through private homes, restaurants, cafes, museums and galleries.
But establishing the national borders did not make the situation in Baarle any simpler. On the contrary: Many streets, parks, car parks, shops, galleries and even houses were now part Belgian and part Dutch. To avoid constant arguments it was agreed that the nationality of a house's residents would be determined by the location of the front door.
"With talks, patience and, most of all, a great readiness to listen first, we mostly come up with a solution. You can achieve a lot by talking with those involved, thinking logically and being friendly," Frans de Bont, the mayor of Belgian Baarle, tells DW.
