Hartberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartberg is a city in Styria, Austria, the capital of the district of the same name. As of the census of 2001, it has a population of 6,547 in an area of 21.54 km². About 68 km up the A2 is the large city of Graz.

This town has a long and rich history. A settlment was located here in the Neolithic ages. The fist mention of Hartberg was in a 1286 document. During the 1400s it was conquered by King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. A huge fire destroyed the town up to a few houses, but the population has been continually on the rise since then.
