Hart-Purgstall is a former municipality with 1599 inhabitants (as of October 31, 2013) northeast of Graz in Styria in the Graz-Umgebung district . As part of the Styrian community structural reform , it was merged with the communities of Brodingberg , Eggersdorf bei Graz and Höf-Präbach on January 1, 2015 , the new community will continue to use the name Eggersdorf bei Graz. The basis for this is the Styrian Municipal Structural Reform Act - StGsrG. A complaint brought by the municipality against the amalgamation to the Constitutional Court was unsuccessful.
Due to the similar name, the municipality was easily confused with the municipality of Hart bei Graz, which is only ten kilometers away .
