About Andritz
Where to stay in Andritz
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Andritz is residential ground before it is anything else. Beds are thin on the ground at this end of Graz, and most visitors who stay here do so for space, for a car, or for family in the northern streets rather than for the walk to a sight. The centre is the alternative.
Anyone wanting evening choice books in Graz proper and treats Andritz as the quiet end, with the Johanneskirche Graz-Andritz as its landmark.
About Andritz
What are the main landmarks in Andritz?
The parish church leads. The Johanneskirche Graz-Andritz marks the middle of the district, and the Studienzentrum Naturkunde holds a natural-history collection used for study more than for sightseeing. Sightseeing is not the point here.
Andritz gives Graz room at its northern end, and most of what visitors come for stands in the city centre, a short run in.
What is the history of Andritz?
Andritz stands as the twelfth of the Graz districts. The number is administrative, and the ground beneath it held its own parish long before the city reached this far north, with the Johanneskirche Graz-Andritz remaining the marker of that older community. Study came later.
The Studienzentrum Naturkunde put a research collection in a district better known for its housing than for its museums.
Where is Andritz?
Andritz covers the far northern end of Graz, one of the larger districts by area, where housing gives way to open ground well before the boundary.
