Retrospective Spring 2020: The Covid-19 Border Closures

A year ago, the Covid-19 pandemic led to massive and abrupt border closures. Especially the Greater Region with its close interconnections was affected: students, cross-border workers, families or other commuters at the border experienced the separation as a significant cut in their professional and everyday life. Currently, the border is again becoming perceptible, particularly in the Franco-German zone, due to stricter entry regulations and testing requirements. The UniGR-Center for Border Studies (UniGR-CBS) looks back on the border closures, which are still being debated.
