Route edit

The border runs roughly from east to west. The eastern point is located at the border tripoint of Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, at 48°46′18″N 13°50′22″E / 48.77167°N 13.83944°E / 48.77167; 13.83944, near the village of Schwarzenberg am Böhmerwald. The western point is located at the border tripoint of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, at approximately 47°33′N 9°34′E / 47.550°N 9.567°E / 47.550; 9.567, in Lake Constance.

The border is 815 kilometres (506 mi) long, but a straight line between the endpoints is 345 kilometres (214 mi) long.

Besides Lake Constance, the border does not pass through any significant lake, but it follows the Danube, Inn and Salzach rivers along the eastern part. The western part of the border mostly follows a high mountain range, although a few valleys cross the border.

The Austrian states of Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Salzburg, and Upper Austria run along the international border, as does the German state of Bavaria.

History edit

The border was confirmed in a treaty between the countries in 1972, after having been defined by a number of agreements between the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria in the 19th century. In 1938 the countries merged through the Anschluss. This was reverted in 1955 by the Austrian State Treaty, which re-established Austria as a sovereign state. The Schengen Area removed border controls at the border in 1997. Temporary border controls were reinstalled in 2015 in response to the European migrant crisis. These temporary border controls were scheduled to be removed on 12 May 2020, although they are liable to be extended in six-month periods.[3]
