History & character
From Family History to Modern Neighborhood
Puntigam is the 17th and youngest district of Graz. The name Puntigam originally comes from a family that owned a manor house with a tavern and brewery since the early modern period. This family gave rise to the Puntigam brewery in the 19th century. The Puntigam district was separated from the 16th district of Straßgang in 1988 and was incorporated into Graz in 1938, being combined with Straßgang. The boundaries of the district do not consistently follow the cadastral borders, which sets Puntigam apart from other Graz districts. Today, Puntigam is a diverse urban district that offers both residential and recreational opportunities and has an interesting history to reflect upon.

Where can you get from here, by which mode, to which destination? The map colours every location in the district by real travel time (dark = fast).
Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Graz. Transit from the schedule router (Day = peak, Late = after 11pm), bike/walk/car over the street network (car computed without traffic, so rush hour takes correspondingly longer).

Climate & environment
On hot summer days, local cooling matters. With ≈4 trees per spot: little cooling as the heat rises.
Public street and park trees from the City of Graz tree register, counted within 300 m of each inhabited spot. More trees mean more shade (climate) and more green (location). Private gardens are not included.
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.
