@bastianallgeier Similar feelings for me, even though I lived further from the border and was younger when change happened. Even though, I remember the sucking experience of crossing borders, the weird feeling of foreign money. The money part is still wonderful to me during travel and an unexpected nuisance when visiting non Euro countries.

These German ideas of introducing border controls feel like time is going backwards, apart from the fact that borders were built in the past decades were under the assumption that no controls are necessary. Those people trying to avoid controls will easily manage, families on their way to vacations and relatives will be hit hardest.
