Büsingen
Büsingen is a
German town entirely surrounded by the
Swiss canton of Schaffhausen. Owing to its unusual geographical location, it uses public services from both countries, including
public transport,
post and
telephone services, which operate side by side. Politically, Büsingen is part of Germany, forming part of the
Bundesland of
Baden-Württemberg, but economically, it forms part of the Swiss customs area, as does the
Italian enclave of
Campione and the independent principality of
Liechtenstein, and uses the
Swiss Franc as well as the
Euro (and before its introduction, the
Deutsche Mark).
For example, to send a letter to Büsingen, one can send it using either a Swiss postal code
Junkerstr. 86
CH-8238 Büsingen
or a German one:
Junkerstr. 86
D-78266 Büsingen
