The town of Riezlern lies in the Kleinwalsertal, a valley that is accessible by road only from Germany. Although it is not an exclave in a strict sense (it is contiguous with the rest of Austria), its geographic position creates a special situation. For instance, it has both Austrian and German postal codes. Since 1891 Kleinwalsertal has been in the German customs union, and has an open border with that country; before the introduction of the euro the Deutsche Mark was used there. Since Austria joined the European Union (1995), the Schengen Agreement was ratified (1997), and the Euro euro was introduced (2002), this special status no longer applies. Post Office opened 15th June 1886 Zip-Code: for (AT) → 6991 old Zip-Code system until 30.6.1993 (DE) → 8984 for (DE) → 87567 from 1.1.1966 from 23.3.1962 to 30.6.1993 new from 1.7.1993 See also KLEINWALSERTAL: Mittelberg Hirschegg
