I guess you mean Dinxperlo/Süderwick and Kerkrade/Herzogenrath.

Several years ago I read a newspaper article about a small village on the
Dutch-German border where one side of the main road belongs to Germany and
the other side of the road belongs to the Netherlands.

I have also read about another village that is split by the Dutch-German
border, where one of the buildings on the maind road is on the border.

I have tried to find these two places, but without success, neither in the
Wikipedia nor via Google earth. Does anyone have an idea where these
villages
are and what life is like in such a place on the linguistic border?

*Herzogenrath* (D) shares its Neustraße with *Kerkrade *(Nl) where it is
called Nieuwstraat.

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerkrade
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzogenrath

In *Baarle* (enclaved parcels of Belgium in the Netherlands, with some Dutch
enclaves enbedded in Belgian enclaves)
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle
some houses are on the border between the *Netherlands *and *Belgium.*
