Germany is preparing to reintroduce some form of controls along its border with Austria, according to local media reports.
The German newspaper Bild said Bavarian officials were set to "close" the border with Austria, in what it described as a "dramatic shift in refugee policy".
Tens of thousands of refugees have been arriving in southern Germany in recent weeks, with some reports suggesting around 13,000 reached Munich on Saturday alone.
According to Bild, the central government was planning to send 2,100 riot police officers to help secure the Bavarian border, after local officials issued a plea for more help from the federal police.
Germany's interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, has scheduled a press conference for 6pm local time (5pm BST), when he is expected to announce further details of the planned move.
Kronen Zeitung, an Austrian daily, also reported that Bavarian police were planning to introduce checks.
