Sauerbrunn is a place in the cadastral community Trog in the west of the community Stainz in Styria . It is located on the upper reaches of the Stainzbach in a narrow valley called the Sauerbrunngraben.

The name Sauerbrunn comes from the mineral springs that lie in the area and refers to the striking taste of the water from these springs. The name Sauerbrunn and the name Stainz are regarded as a Slavic-German double name in this context, because “Stainz” is also derived from a Slavic expression for a strikingly tasting spring.

There is a short story by Peter Rosegger about the mineral springs . Their (initially misunderstood) discovery is said to be due to one of two references that an old woman gave the miller of the (now derelict) Sommermichelmühle as thanks for giving her a measure (approx. 1.4 l) of rye flour (initially Called "Gesundbrunnen", the other reference concerned the Stainzer plates ).

Sauerbrunn is a scattered settlement without a central location. The area is largely covered by forest and only sparsely populated. It does not have the suffix "Bad".

“Bad Sauerbrunn” is the name given to the well system from which the water from the Archduke Johann spring flows. This spring is the most famous mineral spring in Sauerbrunn, it is recognized as a healing spring . There was a spa business with her.

In the literature, up to eight mostly very small sources of sour water are documented in the Sauerbrunn area. One of these springs is included in the current version of the Erzherzog-Johann-Quelle, another is in the bed of the Trogbach, others on the slopes of the surrounding mountains. A source is documented about 600 m as the crow flies in the valley of an unnamed left tributary of the Stainzbach.

The Wessenstein castle ruins are located in the southeast of Sauerbrunn . Sauerbrunn is the starting point for hikes in the northern Koralpe area, such as the Reinischkogel , the Sporiroa oven or the Mannagetta oven .

Sauerbrunn cannot be reached by public transport, the bus line leading there from Stainz from 1938 until GKB ceased operations consists only of school traffic from Stainz for the Marhof area (network line 746).

There are a number of places in Styria that are called "Sauerbrunn" or (in Lower Styria ) were. Places that were called "Sauerbrunn im Stainzthal" and which also have mineral water springs are also located in the Stainztal near Luttenberg (Ljutomer) in Slovenia. These places have nothing to do with Sauerbrunn near Marhof in western Styria, the name refers to the quality of the water. The Stainz River near Ljutomer bears the Slovenian name Ščavnica .
