Comment

Schengen Agreements Monument - On the esplanade along the Moselle in Schengen, three steel memorials commemorate the signature of the Schengen Agreements in 1985 and 1990. 

The wine-growing village of Schengen was chosen for the signature ceremony of the Schengen Agreements because it is located on the border between France, Germany and Luxembourg as a member of the Benelux Economic Union (thus the first five signatories to the protocol).
