The Eggenberg district is the 14th district of Graz . The district connects to the Lend and Gries districts to the east and is bordered by the Plabutsch to the west. The name goes back to Eggenberg Castle and its founding family.
Since 2010, the castle and large areas in the central part of the district have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Graz - Historic Center and Eggenberg Castle .
history
The district, named after the Eggenbergers who built their residence, Eggenberg Castle , here in 1625, has a long and impressive history behind it. Finds indicate a settlement since the younger Stone Age . Two grave fields from Roman times were found in Algersdorf. The Alte Poststraße can also be traced back to Roman times. In the Middle Ages and into the 19th century, the landscape was shaped by agriculture and viticulture on the slopes of the Plabutsch. The Baierdorf estate was located in the village of Baierdorf near Graz, which today belongs to Eggenberg .
In 1850 the local community Eggenberg was formed. It was divided into the cadastral communities Algersdorf, Baierdorf and Wetzelsdorf . In addition, there were the villages of Plawutsch and Krottendorf (today in Wetzelsdorf). The Reininghaus brewery (from 1853) and the expansion of the industrial area around the train station resulted in a change from a rural castle village to a workers' community. This can also be seen in the working class suburb of Neu-Algersdorf, built in the late 19th century.
In 1906 the Eggenberg market was raised. Although Wetzelsdorf became independent in 1914, Eggenberg was the most populous market town in Austria with well over 15,000 inhabitants in the interwar period. In the course of the February fights in 1934 there was bitter fighting between members of the Schutzbund on the one hand and the Heimwehr and soldiers of the federal army on the other in Eggenberg, which was dominated by social democrats and where the headquarters of consumption was also located . There were many dead, injured and 130 prisoners in the consumer building alone.
After the " Anschluss of Austria " in 1938, Eggenberg was incorporated into Graz.
In the last third of the 20th century there were improvements in the district, especially in the social and school areas: ASKÖ sports stadium, educational academy (1969), large indoor and outdoor swimming pool (1974), accident hospital (1981), LKH - Graz West (2002) .
