Starting this week, Schengen will have a Germany-shaped hole at its heart. On September 16th Europe’s most populous country opted out of passport-free travel by reintroducing controls at all its borders, initially for a period of six months but probably for longer. To those committed to an ever-closer union, this raising of drawbridges in a country that sits squat in the middle of the continent bodes ill for one of the EU’s signature achievements. On the ground, to be sure, little seems to have changed. Wandering on foot across the Moselle into Saarland on the first morning the new measures were in place, your columnist saw no sign of border posts; they have long since been removed. (Germany has promised “targeted” checks that will not disrupt the many workers who commute across borders. Woe betide anyone inconveniencing a Luxembourgeois asset manager on his way back from the office.)
