The Czech Republic–Germany border (Czech: Česko-německá státní hranice; German: Grenze zwischen Deutschland und Tschechien) is the international border between the Czech Republic and Germany. It forms a 815 kilometres (506 mi)[1] arc extending from Austria at the south to Poland at the north.
The border comes from the border of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, which later became the border between the German Empire and the Austrian Empire.
In the period 1945–1990, the West German–Czechoslovak border formed part of the Iron curtain and was heavily fenced and strictly guarded.
The Czech Republic joined the Schengen Area in 2007. This meant that all passport checks were removed along the border in December 2007. The limitations on Czechs working in Germany expired in April 2011.
