German term
Boxen-Straßen
This refers to an equestrian event to be held next to the Rathaus in Vienna. Not quite sure what the Boxen-Strassen are....I'd assume from the context that they're ***box seats*** on the streets...TIA

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion
Those horses are priceless and are, like race horses, worth several millions each and they have their bodyguards. The "boxes" and the equipment are pretty much the last thing that the security personnel have to guard. :)
They simply build improvised stalls for the horses during the Vienna Masters because the horses can not be kept in their trailers (they are too small) and because you won't find enough private stables. They simply turn the streets into a "horse hotel" for a couple of days.
Box is definitely Stall or Stable box in US English
In motor racing the Boxen-Straße is the pit lane, and by analogy I would guess that for an equestrian event this is where the horse boxes and equipment can be stored, hence the need for security personnel.
