German Corner
Could someone please tell me where the German Corner is. I heard some Lufthansa chaps asking for direct there the other day.

Lat and long or nearest waypoint would be great.

I know it well! It is the corner of the French/German FIR at the top right corner of France that juts into Germany, Alsace or Lorraine (can never remember which), the cause of several wars between the participants and regularly swapping hands since 1870, and probably several times before then. The French have it now. Must be time for some fireworks again- if we can kill the EC off it will swap again, and German corner will be something like KRH270/180! German ATC is excellent about letting you graze the corner to save time!

What I do not understand is why, after all these years, they don't make it a suitable waypoint. Call it CORNR or whatever. Can't be that difficult.
