Büsingen am Hochrhein, German enclave in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Located on the northern bank of the Rhine River, Büsingen am Hochrhein extends over 7.62 square kilometers of land entirely surrounded by Swiss territory.
The municipality remained German territory in 1919 despite a referendum where 96 percent of residents voted to join Switzerland due to lack of compensation agreements.
The residents of Büsingen maintain connections with both German and Swiss societies, sending their children to schools in either country after primary education.
Both Swiss francs and euros circulate freely in Büsingen, with most businesses accepting both currencies for daily transactions at locally established exchange rates.
The municipality belongs to German territory politically but functions within the Swiss customs area, allowing unrestricted movement of goods across its administrative borders.
