“…Opiłowska (2022) con-firms that for the German-Polish border, established cross-border networks, trust and institutional structures were resilience enhancers. In contrast, Renner et al (2022) find an increased incidence of nationalist and populist opinions in the German-Polish border region.…”

“…For example, the awakening of old prejudices against the bordering country and the resulting animosities were addressed in various border regions, especially in the border regions with 'new' EU countries (cf. Renner et al 2022). Some experts exaggeratedly described how some people, who considered the virus 'bad', saw it as entering their country mainly through the 'neighbor'.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a suspension of the Schengen Agreement within the European Union: national borders were partially controlled or closed. Especially in European border regions, where the idea of European integration is most evident, this led to limitations of cross-border linkages, putting the question of border-regional resilience into the focus of border studies. Based on the case study of German border regions, we operationalize the various impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic alongside the German border. Particularly interesting with regard to the concept of border-regional resilience are the results of a two-stage Delphi survey with border-regional experts. Even if the border closures as such were a political crisis, some of the long-term effects might be considered positive.

“…Apart from a few episodic insights into the experience and handling of border closures (BIG-Review 2020; Ulrich & Cyrus 2020; Wille & Kanesu 2020;Opiłowska 2021;Weber et al 2021b), there are still only a few systematic studies of the realities of life in the border regions during the pandemic (e.g. Tarvet & Klatt 2023;Böhm 2022;Renner et al 2022). However, a number of events that have rarely been observed in European border regions offer starting points for further examination: "When border communities and mobile people need to cope with man-made material border infrastructures, renewal and resistance may emerge as a response to such border transitions" (Jagetic Andersen & Prokkola 2022, 5).…”

Since at least the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of borders could no longer be overlooked. This global development has also penetrated the European border regions along with the virus. There, European border region studies is now confronted with events that it has thus far hardly had to deal with. This article addresses such events and elaborates on the interplay of borderization and deborderization processes in the context of “covidfencing”. For this purpose, social negotiation processes of border closures in the Greater Region SaarLorLux and in the German–Polish border area are discussed as “people’s resilience”. This article considers how European border region studies can deal with events and questions in times of borderization. Drawing on international border studies, the research agenda can be extended to everyday cultural issues. In addition, the common concept of borders can be adjusted in order to make the border more accessible as a subject of everyday cultural negotiations. Keywords: COVID-19, covidfencing, border, borderization, deborderization, cross-border commuters, border studies, everyday culture, bordering, resilience.
