Murau District, Administrative district in Styria, Austria
The Murau District extends across 1,394 square kilometers of mountainous terrain between the Lower Tauern range and the Gurktal Alps in western Styria.
The district's administrative structure was established in 1868 during the Habsburg Monarchy, separating executive and judicial functions into different authorities.
The district preserves traditional customs through annual Samson parades and maintains the historical Murtalbahn steam railway connecting local municipalities.
The district contains 14 municipalities after the 2015 reform, with the town of Murau serving as the administrative center for regional services.
The district houses the Kreischberg ski resort and produces Murauer beer, a brewing tradition documented since the 15th century.
