But the same page has an exemption for "persons who, in the context of border traffic, will be spending a maximum of 24 hours in Germany". What does "in the context of border traffic" mean?

But then it also says that passengers who are simply changing flights at an airport in Germany still have to comply. I'm not flying, but wouldn't most people just changing flights stay less than 24 hours? So when does the 24 hour exemption apply and when does it not?
You shouldn't need anything. According to this, travelling to Germany from Switzerland currently requires no 3G proof (this applies only to origin countries on the high risk list, and there are currently none): https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/f...97140bodyText3

Note that currently an FFP2 mask must still be worn on public transport when travelling through Bavaria - not sure whether it also applies in BW, depending on your entry point.
