Jakomini, Graz — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Jakomini, the sixth district of Graz, carries the name of Kaspar Andreas Ritter von Jacomini and counts the Oper Graz among its landmarks.
About Jakomini
Where to stay in Jakomini
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Oper Graz fixes the choice. Rooms behind the opera house put the busts of Richard Wagner, Ludwig van Beethoven and Eduard Speck a few steps away, and leave the evening's walk home short. Families do better by the Augartenpark.
The bust of Peter Rosegger stands among its trees, and Frida und Fred, the Grazer Kindermuseum, is close by, while the streets around the Münzgrabenkirche and the Dominikanerkloster stay quieter than either.
About Jakomini
What are the main landmarks in Jakomini?
Statuary comes first. Busts of Richard Wagner, Ludwig van Beethoven and Eduard Speck stand at the Oper Graz, while the Persönlichkeitsdenkmal Joseph II, the Herzog Wilhelm von Württemberg monument and a bust of Peter Rosegger in the Augartenpark are scattered across the rest of the district. Museums follow.
The Johann Puch Museum Graz, the Museum der Wahrnehmung and FRida & freD - Das Grazer Kindermuseum sit alongside the Raiffeisen Sportpark, and the Heilandskirche, the Josefskirche, the Karlauerkirche and the Münzgrabenkirche fill out the church roll.
What is the history of Jakomini?
The name is a person. Kaspar Andreas Ritter von Jacomini lent it to this stretch of Graz, and the sixth district has carried it ever since, through every later layer the streets have taken on. Jakomini's past runs deeper than its name.
A Samian Ware Discovery Site is recorded within Jakomini, the Dominikanerkloster and the Karlauerkirche mark its religious layer, and the Johann Puch Museum Graz stands for a later chapter again.
Where is Jakomini?
Jakomini covers a little over four square kilometres of Graz, with the Augartenpark and the Münzgrabenkirche inside its bounds. The Oper Graz stands here too.
