History & character
From Roman Road to Graz District
Straßgang, whose name derives from the Slavic word straža meaning "watch" or "tower", is the 16th district of Graz. The area is located along a historic traffic route that was already in use during Roman times. Originally cultivated by the Aribonens, it was transferred to the Archdiocese of Salzburg by Emperor Henry III in 1055. The southern Harterstraße is named after its founder Hartwig I of Bavaria. In 1938, the village of Straßgang was incorporated together with Puntigam as the 16th Graz district, while Puntigam became the 17th district in 1988. Today, Straßgang is characterized by its quiet location at the foot of Buchkogel and Florianiberg and includes most of the cadastral community Webling.

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 ≈9 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.
