- "Büsingen am Hochrhein (German: [ˈbyːzɪŋən am ˈhoːxʁaɪn], "Büsingen on Upper Rhine"; Alemannic: Büesinge am Hochrhi[needs IPA]), commonly known as Büsingen, is a German municipality (7.62 km2 [2.94 sq mi]) in the south of Baden-Württemberg and an enclave entirely surrounded by territory belonging to Switzerland. It has a population of about 1,450 inhabitants. Since the early 19th century, the village has been separated from the rest of Germany by a narrow strip of land (at its narrowest, about 680 m [2,230 ft] wide) containing the Swiss village of Dörflingen.
Politically Büsingen is part of Germany, forming part of the district of Konstanz, but economically it forms part of the Swiss customs union, along with the principality of Liechtenstein and up until 2019, albeit unofficially, the Italian village of Campione d´Italia. As such there have been no border controls between Switzerland and Büsingen since 4 October 1967." - (en.wikipedia.org 05.08.2021) - Latitude
