As early as 1198, enclaves arose around the border in the middle of Baarle. Godfried II van Schoten, Lord of Breda, received several pieces of land from Duke Hendrik I. Hendrik I kept the most fertile pieces of land for himself and gave the less fertile pieces to Godfried II. In this way, there was a division between the pieces of land of the Dutch heir Baarle-Nassau and the Belgian descendant Baarle-Hertog. This division also produced strange situations during the world wars. During World War I, for example, when the Germans could not occupy Belgian Baarle-Hertog without crossing Dutch territory. So, because of the neutrality of the Netherlands during this war, the Belgian part of Baarle, Baarle-Hertog, also remained unoccupied. Because of quarrels and disagreements around the border, it was not final for a long time. Only in 1974 were the borders in Baarle finally recognised as national borders.
