===Zipfelbund: compass communities===
At the 1999 Day of German Unity celebration in [[Wiesbaden]] the {{Interlanguage link multi|Zipfelbund|de}} (Compass Confederation) was formalised. The Zipfelbund are the four communities at the cardinal [[Points of the compass#Compass point names|compass points]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.zipfelbund.de/impressum/|title = Impressum (Zipfelbund)}}</ref> of Germany: North – [[List, Schleswig-Holstein|List]] on the island of [[Sylt]], West – [[Selfkant]], South – [[Oberstdorf]] and East – [[Görlitz]]. Together, they always participate in the respective annual celebration to represent the [[Oder–Neisse line#Division of cities|modern borders]] of Germany.
