Büsingen am Hochrhein ("Buesingen on the High Rhine"), commonly known as
Büsingen, is a German town
entirely surrounded by the
Swiss canton of Schaffhausen and, south across the
High Rhine, by the Swiss cantons of
Zürich and
Thurgau. It has a population of about 1,450 inhabitants. Since the early 19th century, the town has been separated from the rest of Germany by a narrow strip of land (at its narrowest, about 700 m wide) containing the Swiss village of
Dörflingen.
