   TIL the Czech Republic leases two lots in Hamburg harbor under the Versailles Treaty. the lease will expire in 2028.

     @kaia Haven't it expired in 2018? 1919 + 99 years.

     @brie good question. interestingly the German article cites the treaty as 1929, which is incorrect.

     @kaia According to this article (Czech only, sorry), there should be an option for 50 more years. So we're safe :-)

     The same article describes how Czechia has one lot permanently (if I read into it correctly) and that we are trying to exchange the two leased lots for another lot/s (there are too low bridges, so it is not very usable). The exchange could happen this year.

     I didn't factcheck it, just remembered reading about this ~recently.

     @brie @kaia They should have been relocated (to Kuhwerder), because they weren't maintained by us and were leased in 1929.
