Farms hold on in Liebenau, the seventh district of Graz, alongside shopping centres and the Magna Steyr car plant on the city's south-eastern edge.
About Liebenau
Where to stay in Liebenau
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Liebenau is a working district. Beds here answer to the Magna Steyr car plant and the shopping centres more than to sightseeing, which makes the district a practical base for anyone in Graz on business rather than for a weekend. The northern edge is closer in.
Against the Jakomini boundary the run into the middle of Graz shortens, while the lanes near the Erlöserkirche Graz-Liebenau keep the farm-and-house grain that survives beside the bigger commercial ground.
About Liebenau
What are the main landmarks in Liebenau?
Three churches and a museum. The Erlöserkirche Graz-Liebenau, the Pfarrkirche Graz-Süd and the Barackenkirche Graz-Liebenau carry the parish life of the seventh district between the fields and the industrial ground. Industry frames it.
The Johann Puch Museum Graz is the only museum the district lists, and it sits in the same seventh-district ground that carries the Magna Steyr car plant and the shopping centres.
What is the history of Liebenau?
Farming came first here. Farms still work the ground of the seventh district, and they do it alongside shopping centres and largescale industrial holdings that arrived later, the Magna Steyr car plant chief among them. The churches record the change.
The Erlöserkirche Graz-Liebenau and the Barackenkirche Graz-Liebenau both carry the district's name, the Pfarrkirche Graz-Süd names its position in Graz, and the Johann Puch Museum Graz stands for the industrial turn that the farms have outlasted.
Where is Liebenau?
The seventh district runs across the south-eastern part of Graz, where fields, shopping centres and industrial holdings share the ground. Jakomini borders the north.
