Nemirseta, formerly Nimmersatt, the northernmost settlement of the old German Reich

Nemirseta

After World War II, according to the 1945 Potsdam Agreement, the region again became part of the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic and the place, now called Nemirseta, finally lost its meaning as a German border town.

In the course of the Protestant Reformation, the Teutonic State in 1525 dissolved and the Nemirseta area became the northernmost outpost of secularized Duchy of Prussia, from 1618 of united Brandenburg-Prussia under the Lutheran House of Hohenzollern.

The place, which consists mainly of two deserted buildings which lost their purpose as a border check point, is notable for having marked for about five centuries the northernmost point of German Ostsiedlung settlements.
