departure and transit
The national borders are basically open, but closures ordered at short notice and not announced - even over longer periods - must be expected. The Wagah border crossing to India is generally not passable with German passports.

This second sentence is typically vague nonsense published by governments, sourced by a person who has probably no experience of travelling overland/crossing borders.
For sure, 'in general' it is passable with a German passport. If there were ever any problems for a German trying to cross they were specific to that person.
Or it is just a very confusing way of saying that you need more than just your German passport, i.e. you need to have a Pakistan visa in it before hand.
As usual, government travel advice is best ignored.
