Voitsberg District

Voitsberg District covers 678 square kilometers of diverse terrain, containing fifteen municipalities including the central town of Voitsberg, Köflach, and Bärnbach.

The district formation occurred in 1891 during the Habsburg Monarchy period as part of Austria's administrative restructuring to establish organized regional governance.

Each municipality within the district maintains traditional festivals throughout the year, featuring regional music performances, local food markets, and agricultural exhibitions.

The district office in Voitsberg provides residents with essential administrative services, including marriage registrations, building permits, and citizenship documentation.

The district underwent significant transformation in 2015 through a municipal reform that consolidated multiple smaller communities into fifteen larger municipalities.
