Closure of the Kupfermühle car park: construction work begins on Friday!
Preparations for border controls on the German-Danish border are taking shape. From Friday, November 7th, 2025, the parking lot on the B200 in Kupfermühle (Schleswig-Flensburg district) will be completely closed in the southbound direction. The reason for this measure is restructuring measures by the Federal Police, which concerns a reconstruction of the checkpoint as part of the border controls that have been reintroduced since September 16, 2024. As NDR reports, these modifications are necessary in order to better align the controls with the weather conditions in the dark season.
The federal police in Flensburg have already announced that the parking lot will no longer be available until further notice. Motorists are urged to remove their vehicles in a timely manner, as illegally parked vehicles will be towed away for a fee. This information also comes from Presseportal, which passes on the relevant information from the authorities.
Background of the controls
The measure is part of the expanded border controls that have been active in Germany since September last year. In response to the current migration situation and related incidents, the federal government has expanded these controls at Germany's external borders, especially in the west and north. This not only affects Denmark, but also other neighboring countries such as Poland and Austria. According to reports from Tagesschau, travelers from all neighboring countries must expect stricter checks on their documents.
These stricter controls, which will primarily be carried out on a random basis, will initially remain in force for a period of six months. Despite the critical situation and the demand for stricter measures from the CDU and CSU, the federal government has not yet declared an emergency or legalized more extensive rejections. Neighboring countries react differently to these new regulations. While Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban welcomed the measures, Poland and Austria expressed concerns. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the checks “unacceptable” and the Austrian government signaled that it was not prepared to accept rejected people from Germany.
How things will continue and what developments are still to come remains to be seen. The federal police are expected to provide further information on the renovation work and possible consequences for commuters and travelers.
