The Besmenian Border Zone (Besmenian: Besmenische Grenzzone) was the border between the West Besmenia and East Besmenia. The border was blocked and guarded by the West Besmenian side in the spring of 1926. The reason was the Economic miracle in East Besmenia, which also resulted that many residents moved from West Besmenia to East Besmenia. On June 16, 1966 the border was reopened and dismantling began.
The border guards of the Royal Army which monitored the border had the order to shoot. As a result, border refugees died repeatedly. Günther Brecht, who was later Prime Minister of Besmenia, was the very first border refugee in 1928 who successfully crossed the border and fled to East Besmenia.
The Besmenian Border Zone has long been considered as the most dangerous border in Belisaria.
