What is "spielfeld"

Spielfeld ( Slovene: Špilje) is a municipality in the district of Leibnitz in Austrian state of Styria. It was an Austria-Slovenia border crossing checkpoint until December 21 2007, when all immigration and customs checks ended after Slovenia joined the Schengen Area. The Slovene town opposite Spielfeld is Šentilj.

In 2015, a new Austrian border barrier was erected at Spielfeld.
