HistoryThe border comes from the old border between German Empire and the Austrian Empire. In the period 1945-1990, the border formed part of the Iron curtain and was heavily fenced and strictly guarded. The Czech Republic joined the Schengen Area in 2007. This meant that all passport checks were removed along the border in December 2007. The limitations on Czechs working in Germany expired in April 2011.
