BPOLD-H: 108 days of temporarily reintroduced internal border controls at the German-Dutch border in Lower Saxony

Since September 16, 2024, the Federal Police has been controlling cross-border traffic throughout Germany with temporarily reintroduced internal border controls. For travelers between Lower Saxony and the Netherlands, the responsible Federal Police Directorate in Hanover has been conducting these for three and a half months now and has recorded a total of 560 unauthorized entries since the start of the controls.
In addition, 368 people had to be turned back at the border.

In detail, the following findings were made in the jurisdiction of the Federal Police Directorate Hanover between September 16, 2024 and January 1, 2025 as part of the temporarily reintroduced internal border controls:

Background:

The temporary reintroduced internal border controls at the Schengen internal borders are carried out by the Federal Police on the orders of the Federal Minister of the Interior and for Homeland. Since September 16, 2024, the controls also affect the land borders with France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Denmark. The temporarily reintroduced internal border controls had already taken place at the other land borders (Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, and Switzerland).

The border controls are necessary for the protection of internal security and to reduce irregular secondary migration.
