„Welcome in Graz“
Graz. The second largest city of Austria represents
more than 900 years of history: On your visit, you will
discover many proofs of this active past, many
references of the present, and quite a few visions of
the future. The sunny flair of the South is just the
cherry on top of the cake that is the city of Graz.
People who know Graz love it for its beauty, charm,
and temperament, warmth and "joie de vivre". But
also for its very special culinary qualities. And
because the city is such a wonderful mixture of
small-town charm and urban centre. You will
discover wonderful destinations for day trips in all
directions, which make the city of Graz a wonderful
vacation spot.
Welcome to Graz.

CULTURE AND NATURE
Rudolf J. Strutz
Author & Photographer
The city of Graz is the second largest city of Austria
and the state capital of Styria, also called the "Green
March". With its many parks and forests in
immediate vicinity of the city, people can enjoy a very
high quality of life here. You can spend your spare
time either in one of the many museums, visit the
sights, or simply go on a shopping spree.
Graz's world-renowned department store is in a
cul-de-sac, one minute from the Hauptplatz. It dates
back to 1883, where Carl Kastner missed his
connection and thus explored the city. He stumbled
upon an empty business locale in the centre, which
he spontaneously rented. This became the
headquarters of Kastner & Öhler.
Graz also offers numerous cultural highlights, opera,
shows, and cabarets. One may say: There is always
something going on in Graz.
The many students who live in the city lead to a
number of interesting bars and restaurants around
the university. For people who want to dive even
deeper into the nightlife of Graz, the "Bermuda
Triangle" between Mehlplatz, Prokopigasse, and
Färberplatz is a must when visiting the city.
Graz is also home to the continuously expanding car
cluster Styria. AVL List is one of the world's leading
companies for motor- and test engineering.
In 2003, Graz was named Cultural Capital of Europe
and commemorated this event with several
distinctive buildings.
This e-book will give you a first view of the city of
Graz. It was created in cooperation with the Austrian
Federal Railways and Graz Tourism.

ART AND CULTURE

GRAZ
As Austria's second largest city, Graz is home to about 300,000
people. The "Graz Basin" was the construction site of a castle in the
6th century. This structure was deciding in the naming of the city
Graz. "Gradec" means "little castle". Graz can look back on a
tumultuous past and was residence to the Habsburg family from the
year 1379 to 1619.
The strongly fortified city was able to repeatedly resist Ottoman
attacks. All around the Schlossberg there are several spots that still
commemorate this troublesome time. The fortress on the
Schlossberg hill has never been conquered until 1809. Graz's
citizens bought the clock tower and bell tower from the French. The
Schlossberg hill offers a fantastic views over the roofs of the city
Graz, which was named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in
1999.
Today, Graz is a green oasis with many opportunities for rest and
recreation or to simply enjoy life. Many day trip destinations can be
reached by means of public transport.
Ever since the year 2008, Graz can also call itself "indulgence capital
of Austria". For this, the city can thank one of its salad delicacies,
the "Krauthäupel" (a type of cabbage). The salad is being sold at the
numerous farmers' markets from mid-March to November.

WORTH SEEING
3

SÜDTIROLER PLATZ
Südtiroler Square at the river Mur bank is home to many historic buildings. Next to it
is the futuristic Grazer Kunsthaus, a museum right at the river bank. You can start
your shopping spree here, or simply pick a cozy restaurant to spend the time.
8

KARMELITERPLATZ
Karmeliter Square is home to the pestilence column, built in 1680. The path "At the
foot of the Schlossberg" leads via the the Schlossberg-tunnel to the famous clock
tower. Restaurants and cafes, as well as a large fountain, where hikers cool their feet,
surround this square.
9

EDEGGER-TAX
The bakery by royal appointment Edegger-Tax houses one of the most impressive
facades of Graz. This former royal bakery is one of the oldest in the city. The history of
this reverend company dates back to the 14th century. "Sissi-Kisses", "Styrian
Panther's Paws", and "Pumpkin-Seed Vanilla Cornets" are their specialities.
10

BURG
The Habsburg family errected the castle in 1438. Today, it is the official residence of
the Styrian governor. The impressive gothic double-spiral staircase from 1499 is also
called the "reconciliation staircase", because the two separated paths are brought
together again.
11

12

PALAIS SAURAU
From a small window right beneath the roof of Palais Saurau, you can see a mann
with beard, turban and dagger. There are many stories about why he was depicted
this way, but as there never was an Ottoman occupation in Graz, we are led to
believe that the Count of Saurau just followed a fashion trend.
13

14

VOLKSGARTEN
The Volksgarten Graz is a public park covering 4.6 hectars in the city's Lend district.
When coming from Lend square towards Annenstraße, the park is on your right hand
side. It is divided in two by the Mühlgang canal. Many ducks and goldfish inhabitate
the two ponds of the park.
15

STADTPARK
The Stadtpark ("city park") fountain is an exhibition piece from the World Fair held in 1873
in Vienna. The Stadtpark Graz has been under environmental protection since 1987. It is
home to a large playground and many benches that serve as resting spot for wanderers.
The park also accommodates many squirrels, which are also called "Hansis".
16

Die Styria und die Austria wurden von Hans
Brandstetter geschaffen und befanden sich bis 1964
auf der Hauptbrücke.
Nach dem Neubau der Brücke, die heute
Erzherzog-Johann-Brücke heißt, wurden die Statuen
1970 im Stadtpark aufgestellt.
17

OPERNHAUS
The Graz Opera House was built according to plans by Fellner and Helmer, based on
the style of Fischer von Erlach. The official opening was in 1899. The Opernring
houses a 54-metre sculpture, "Lichtschwert" (lightsaber), based on the Statue of
Liberty in New York, and serves as a memorial to respect Human Rights.
18

19

SCHLOSSBERG
The Schlossberg hill is the perfect spot to relax at any time of the year. Visitors can
see the most famous landmark of Graz: the clock tower. The hour hand is longer
than the minute hand, which was added later. The clock tower also houses three
bells, amongst them the oldest bell of Graz.
20

21

The bell tower
Archduke Karl II had the octagonal tower built in the year 1588. It
measures 34 metres in height. "Liesl" (Elisabeth) is the third largest
bell in Styria and measures 1.97 metres diagonal and weights 4.5
tons.
"Liesl" can be heard daily at 7am, 12pm and 7pm when she sounds
her 101 chimes. This tradition dates back to a myth stating that the
bell was made from 101 salvaged Ottoman cannonballs. In the
cellar of the clock tower is the dungeon, which was referred to as
"contrabass".
Behind the bell tower, right next to the top station of the
Schlossberg train, are the excavated foundation walls of the
Thomas Chappell.
Walking past the bell tower further uphill, you will see casemates,
the large cistern, and finally the Major-Hackher-Memorial, the
so-called Hackher-Lion.
Downhill you will pass the stable bastion, the Chinese pavilion, and
the "Bishop's Chair" to reach the Turkish Fountain and finally the
clock tower. The Herberstein Garden and the People's Bastion are
especially unique because of their flowery glory.
22

23

Getting to the top
Ever since 1894, visitors can "climb" the hill conveniently using the
Schlossberg train, which leaves at Kaiser-Franz-Josef Pier. An
alternative is the glass elevator from Schlossberg Square to the
clock tower. The elevator stops at the Schlossberg Cathedral and
the casemates. Younger visitors particularly enjoy the
fairy-tale-themed cave railway, which can be reached via the same
entrance as the elevator.
Besides these very comfortable ways of climbing the Schlossberg
hill, many visitors decide to be athletic and hike to the top.
Next to the elevator is the Schlossberg-tunnel, which serves as a
pathway to the cathedral inside the mountain, and crosses the path
"At the foot of the Schlossberg", which leads to the clock tower.
Alternatively, one can also climb the 260 steps to reach the top of
the hill and the clock tower.
24

25

26

GLOCKENSPIEL
High above the Glockenspielplatz (Chimes Square), a traditionally-dressed couple
dances daily at 11am, 3pm and 6pm. The melody of the mechanic chimes is always
changing. The square is right at the heart of the "Bermuda Triangle", where visitors
can get lost amongst the countless bars, cafes, and restaurants.
27

EISERNES TOR
This is also the place of a sight called Maria Column, built in 1670, which used to be
on Karmeliter Square. The column was erected to commemorate the victorious
battle at Mogersdorf under Count Raimondo Montecuccoli. The column was moved
to its current location in 1928.
28

CHURCHES
4

BARMHERZIGE BRÜDER
Halfway between Südtiroler Square and Rosegger House you will
find the church Maria Verkündigung. The construction of the church
was interrupted by the Thirty Years' War and thus it was sanctified
only in 1636.
The original church had to be torn down only one hundred years
after its construction and was replaced by today's building,
constructed from 1735 to 1740.
Since this church also served as garrison church, it has been the
home of the ship bell of battleship SMS Tegethoff since 1973.
30

DOM
Don't be fooled by the simple exterior of the Graz Cathedral. The
formerly grand painting of the building unfortunately completely
disappeared with the exception of the so-called "God's Plagues
Picture". This image, referencing the horror-year 1480, is located on
the southern side of the cathedral. The three plagues locusts, war,
and pestilence were thought of as punishment by the population.
The fresco was created by Thomas von Villach as a plea for mercy
and reconciliation.
The inside of the cathedral impresses though the magnificent high
altar and the two reliquary caskets on both sides of the entryway to
the chancel.
31

32

33

DREIFALTIGKEITSKIRCHE
The church is located on Schlossberg Square. Right behind the
church is the river Mur pier. The Dreifaltigkeitskirche (Holy Trinity
Church) initially was built as Ursuline Church and sanctified in 1704.
The style of the church resembles Italian baroque and the interior is
baroque as well.
The sculptures of the four church fathers are particularly impressive:
Ambrose, Augustine, Gregor the Great, and Jerome.
The southern side altar houses a depiction of Saint Ursula, the
name saint of the religious order.
34

FRANZISKANERKIRCHE
Right in the centre of Franciscan Quarter is the Franciscan Church. Here you will find
the impressive church - first documented in 1249 - surrounded by historic shops and
boutiques, many restaurants, cafes, and bars. The Stations of the Cross at the
Franciscan monastery are definitely worth a visit.
35

KALVARIENBERG
Graz even has its own Calvary hill, with was built during the 17th
century on the Austein. It was modelled after the hill in Jerusalem
where Jesus Christ was crucified. Above the entryway to the Holy
Staircase, the scene from the Gospel of John is re-enacted on a
stage, with Pontius Pilate parading Jesus in front of the Jewish
people. The life-sized figures are divided into three sections.
The staircase accessing the crucifixion group is on the right hand
side of the church. The Calvary hill is accessible by bus number 67.
36

37

38

39

40

KATHARIENKIRCHE
Next to the Graz Cathedral is St. Catherine's Church and the mausoleum of Emperor
Ferdinand II. In 1614, the emperor ordered Giovanni Pietro de Pomis, who lived near
Milan, to build the largest mausoleum of the Habsburg empire. The construction of
the mausoleum was completed in 1634.
41

Crown of Graz
The mausoleum as well as St.
Catherine's church, the
Cathedral, Jesuit University,
and Graz Castle all belong to
the so-called "Crown of Graz".
42

43

44

45

MARIATROST
The pilgrimage church Graz-Mariatrost lies on the Purberg hill in the town Mariatrost.
The church is accessible via tramway (line 1). To recharge, gain strength and energy,
one can visit Mariatrost on a sunny day and walk the Rosegger path towards the
Lech forest all the way to lake Hilmteich.
46

47

MARIAHILFERKIRCHE
Giovanni Pietro de Pomis, an apprentice of Tintoretto, began the
construction of the baroque church in the year 1604. De Pomis
modelled the church after the venetian style without towers, which
were added later under Josef Hueber. Across the courtyard are the
Minorite Halls. The largest hall is one of the most beautiful baroque
halls in the state capital. The complex houses a total of three halls,
which provide the ideal ambiance for conferences, conventions, and
cultural events. The parish church is avregular venue for church
concerts and orchestra masses.
48

49

50

51

STADTPFARRKIRCHE
The complete name of the city parish church in Graz is canonry,
main and city parish church Graz Holy Blood. In 1440, this spot was
already home to a house of worship. The baroque
Johannes-Nepomuk-Chappell houses the former high altar painting
of "Mary Ascension". This magnum opus is ascribed to the Venetian
Tintoretto. Because the gothic glass windows were destroyed
during World War II, the artist Albert Birkle was instructed to create
new windows for the church. Birkle memorialised the dictators Hitler
and Mussolini as tormentors of Christ in his work of art. This fact
made several front pages in the 1950s.
52

53

STIEGENKIRCHE
Because the church is located behind houses in the Sporgasse alleyway, it is
accessed through its characteristic stairway. The stair church was first documented
in 1343 and is one of the oldest buildings in the city.
54

55

ZENTRALFRIEDHOF
The central cemetery of Graz is the location for the Serbian-Orthodox church of Saint
Kyrill and Method. The church, built in 1886, initially was a roman-catholic church. In
1996, it was put under the control of the parish of St. John and offered to the
Serbian-Orthodox Diocese for Central Europe.
56

largest and oldest state library. The New Gallery Graz, multimedia collections, and
the Museum of Natural History are also located in the Joanneum quarter.
61

KUNSTHAUS
Graz was Europe's cultural capital in 2003, which was the occasion to create the
new Kunsthaus Graz. In front of the building is the venerable "Iron House", which
dates back to 1848. At night, the facade of the building shows current news
headlines on a 15 by 60 meter BIX media facade.
62

TRAMWAYMUSEUM
The depot of the former Mariatrost railway, right at the final destination Mariatrost,
houses the Tramway Museum Graz. The club has been showing old-timers from
Graz, Vienna, Munich, and New York since 1971. Many of the old-timers can be
rented for private tours. Visit tramway-museum-graz.at if interested.

GRAZ MAIN STATION
Graz's main train station serves over 40,000 passengers daily and thus is a highly
frequented place. The tramway stop is subterranean and quickly and safely connects
you to the city centre of Graz. The project "Graz Main Train Station 2020" paths the
way for implementing the Koralpen train.

several regional bus routes, OEBB Intercity busses, as well as the southern
motorway to the neighbouring state capital of Klagenfurt.
113

TRAMWAY
AltstadtBIM - freie Fahrt - Information nachlesen.
Bus lines 1, 3, 6, and 7 stop at the main station. The "AltstadtBIM" tramway serves
the downtown area for free. You can purchase tickets for the entire public
transportation network inside the tramways and busses. However, my tip is to buy
them ahead of time at a ticket agency (like a tobacconist).
114

SCHLOSSBERGBAHN
The Schlossbergbahn train has been taking visitors to the top of Graz's Schlossberg
since 1894. Documents from the year 1528 already mention a train on the
Schlossberg, which was used to bring material to the top of the hill. The modern
waggons are the train's third generation. A trip to the top takes about 90 seconds.
115

SCHLOSSBERGLIFT
There is no faster and more comfortable way to climb the top of the Schlossberg
than the elevator. The glass-elevator takes about 30 seconds to reach the clock
tower. The entryway also serves as entrance to a fairy-tale-themed cave train, which
is particularly popular with families and takes about 35 minutes for a ride.
116

JAKOMINIPLATZ
The “Jakominiplatz” (Jakomini Square) is the central traffic hub of the city of Graz. All
tramway and many bus routes meet here. If you are taking public transportation to
the city centre of Graz, Jakomini Square is the ideal starting point for a walkabout
through the city.
