German media are reporting that Berlin is planning to reinstate border controls to monitor the flow of refugees trying to enter the country from Austria. The interior minister is to deliver a statement.
{If these were Volga Germans or formerly German Poles seeking to enter Germany by the thousands, would the border be open or closed?} Germany is planning to temporarily reintroduce border controls, beginning with the border to Austria, in view of the massive influx of refugees, the German newspaper “Bild” said on Sunday.
A spokeswoman for Austria’s rail service, OeBB, said independently that it was suspending its trains to Germany at the request of Germany’s railway company, Deutsche Bahn.
The government of the southern German state of Bavaria had called for help from federal police to cope with the task of monitoring people trying to enter Germany, the “Bild” report said, citing security authorities.
