Districts of Graz

Graz is the capital of the second largest Austrian state of Styria (see also: List of political districts of Styria ). The urban area of ​​Graz is divided into 17 districts. Across town runs from north to south of the city the river Mur. Unlike in the districts of Vienna in Graz in everyday language not designated by their number, but with her name. In the street signs but both are to be found in the header again, the district numbers are given in Roman numerals. In each district there own street signs, the design is, however, uniform.

Beginning of the 19th century, the city was first divided into quarters with a corresponding limitation in 1850 then into districts. In 1869 the until then existing 15/4 Castle, Cottage, Joanneum, Jakomini, Grazbach, Schörgelgasse, St. Leonhard, Geidorf, Digging, Calvary, Lend, Maria Hilf, Elizabeth, Gries and Karlau finally to the five districts of the city I., II. Jakomini, III. Geidorf, Lend IV, V. Gries summarized. 1873, the city finally gets her name until then, the city was still Kralove. At the city limits of the four border districts there were 24 line offices, where toll was lifted.

After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich in 1938 was followed by numerous incorporations of today's suburbs to large -Graz: Liebenau, St. Peter, Walt village, Maria Trost ( as a supplement to Geidorf ), Ries, Andritz (as Graz north ), Gösting, Eggenberg, Wetzel village and Straßgang ( as a common district with the later independent Puntigam ). The line positions were abolished altogether.

After the Second World War, in 1946, the present-day town and district boundaries and partly new district names were determined by the Municipal Council of Graz. For example, Maria Trost and Geidorf were separated and independent districts; Graz north was renamed Andritz.

The largest surface area of ​​the city is Andritz north of the city, the smallest of the central district Innere Stadt. The fourth smallest district Jakomini is the most populous, and least of inhabitants in turn has the inner city.

The city districts can hardly be described in everyday language with their respective number in contrast to Vienna, Graz. So therefore we speak for example of " Geidorf " and not the " third District ", the only exception to this rule is the Inner City, which certainly also in the parlance as" first District " is called. The fact that the numbers of the districts plays little attention, is also reflected in the fact that they are not reproduced in Arabic, but in Roman numerals on street signs or official documents.
