History & character
From Market Town to Urban Suburb
Gössendorf is a market municipality in the Graz field located south of Graz. The municipality was elevated to market municipality on June 1, 2004. In the region, Gössendorf has strongly connected with the surrounding municipalities and is part of the suburban area of the capital Graz. Its geographical location along the Mur and the flow of the Raababach shape the municipality's landscape. Today, Gössendorf has 4313 inhabitants and includes the localities of Dörfla, Gössendorf, and Thondorf. The proximity to Graz, along with infrastructural developments such as the run-of-river power plant on the Mur, which was put into operation in 2012, gives the municipality a modern character and makes it an attractive place to live.

Where trees or woody vegetation grow, from satellite imagery (Copernicus, 5 m, 2021 data). There is no tree register like Graz’s here, the satellite view still shows the real green.
Light & shadow
Check the light anywhere. Type an address or click the map, pick a floor and drag through the day. The buildings cast their real shadows. Pan the map to explore.

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. At the foot of the Schlossberg this weighs heavily: in winter the hill sits higher in the sky than the sun ever climbs.
