History & character
From Market Town to Memorial Site
Gratkorn is a market municipality in the Graz area, located by the Mur River and forming a widening of the Murtal valley. The region has been historically marked by various events, notably the tragic death marches in 1945, when Hungarian Jews sought refuge in Gratkorn while fleeing from persecution and met a tragic fate. This dark past led to the establishment of a memorial, inaugurated in 2016, that commemorates the harrowing events. Additionally, the remembrance of a ferry disaster in 1875, where many lives were lost, is part of the community's culture of remembrance. Today, Gratkorn is a vibrant municipality with around 8301 inhabitants, characterized by its geographical location and surrounding elevations such as the Hohe Rannach and Kanzelkogel. The various localities within the municipality offer a diverse living environment that combines both rural and urban elements.

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.

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.
