You know it’s serious when the Swiss have an opinion

“Germany, tell us your thoughts on how to divide this territory.” Germany: “I’m not falling for that again.”
@triniasta
germany really hit em with the "dont care didnt ask"
@ulrichhartmann4585
There is no conflict. The three countries work closely together and simply leave the question open.
@aviation783
In Switzerland, Germany and Austria we call the lake „Bodensee“
@Emissary369
Remains neutral in conflicts but damnit don’t touch their lake
@deantiquisetnovis
I was born there and I can tell you that nobody really cares about the borders. You can freely roam with your boat on the lake, going back and forth between Germany, Austria and Switzerland. By the way it is a beautiful area. The lake also serves as a water reservoir for the town Stuttgart and area.
@PriestyXO
The first time in history that Germany is neutral over a dispute with its neighbours
@ShortmannDano
Germany: "Can y'all hit me up when y'all figure it out?"
@matt_artistry
As someone who lives 200m (or ~270 AR15s for you Freedom guys) from the lake I can tell you, that there is no dispute at all. Officials work closely and even police and paramedics work across the boarders. For example we, on the German side, dont have an emergency helicopter that's allowed to fly at night. That's where our swiss friends come in and help. We on the other side help with our Civil and Disaster Protection Organization (THW) if there is need. And so on. The same goes for the lake itself. If there is an emergency then every country steps in to help, no matter where the problem is located.

A short is a little to short for this, because the reality is more complex. First of all: There is a defined border between Germany and Switzerland within the smaller »Lower Lake« (Untersee) and the »Lake Rhine« (Seerhein) between the »Lower Lake« and the bigger »Upper Lake« (Obersee). And all three parties agree on two points: First, that the area on the shore lines belongs to the country that is there; ad second that the long bay of the Upper Lake in the West (Überlinger See) belongs fully to Germany, because both borders here belong to Germany. So the dispute is mostly about the border within the deep water areas.

This is not a wholy serious dispute however. Case in point, I am a Swiss man in my early twenties with an interest in geography and borders, and I only found out about this dispute about two or three weeks ago
@aoilpe
It’s curious ; as a Swiss citizen I never heard of this “dispute” in over 50 years…
@dwdwmusic4876
We can all be glad that Liechtenstein is not involved. They simply would buy the whole lake.
@aphextwin5712
Since all three countries are part of Schengen zone, the the lack of an agreement on the location of the border is rarely an issue. But during the border closures during Corona, this became an issue a couple of times. Once two Swiss friends were fishing on a small boat in what following the Swiss definition was part of Austria. The Austrian lake police gave them a citation for violating personal distance rules. But doing so they overlooked that Austria considers the lake a shared area, in a sense international waters. This brought another rule into focus that said that the jurisdiction of the bordering country only extends to areas up to a depth of 25 m. The fishermen however where in an area with a depth of 60 m.
