Corona in Baden-Württemberg: fence between Constance and Kreuzlingen separates lovers from Germany and Switzerland
Update from April 4, 7.45 p.m .: Border areas between Baden-Württemberg and neighboring countries also have to put up barriers due to the corona pandemic. A particularly curious case takes place in Constance on Lake Constance , where a fence separated the Swiss side from the German one. Now a second fence has been installed parallel to the existing one - the distance between the two wire mesh fences is two meters.
The reason for the double security is the large number of couples who met at the border in the past few days and who had made direct contact across the temporary barrier. But physical contact such as hugs or even kisses between German-Swiss lovers are no longer possible. Even the trip to the partner is out of the question these days, as visits to Switzerland have been largely prohibited. The border on Lake Constance is usually open to pedestrians and cyclists.
