ABSTRACT
At the Borderlands: Burgenland and Its Nationless Traditions Northern Burgenland, June 27, 1989. The Hungarian border guards permitted the small fleet of East German travelers to exit Hungary, while moments later the Austrian border guards permitted the same East Germans to enter Austria. The border between East and West had been officially and legally breached. The Old Europe could give way to the New. With the opening of one border, the radical realignment and reorganization of Europe’s nation-states was under way.
