Border controls in Germany - Frankfurt (Oder)

16 September 2024, Brandenburg, Frankfurt (Oder): In the early morning, an officer of the Federal Police stands in the pouring rain at the German-Polish border crossing Stadtbrücke and monitors entry traffic into Germany. Checks have already been carried out at the borders with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland, and most recently also with France. The checks are limited to six months in each case, but can be extended. Photo: Patrick Pleul/dpa (Photo by Patrick Pleul/picture alliance via Getty Images)
