German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced the extension of passport controls along all land borders to mitigate irregular migration and enhance domestic security.
The new measures are designed to curb the number of people entering Germany without visas and respond to security threats from Islamist groups and organized crime.
Following a knife attack in Solingen by a Syrian citizen who evaded deportation, debates on immigration policies in Germany have intensified significantly.
The extension of border checks comes amid rising asylum requests in Germany, which have prompted the government to impose stricter controls at specific borders.
