Leibnitz District, Administrative district in Styria, Austria.

The district spans 727 square kilometers of land between the Mur and Sulm rivers, containing 29 municipalities with the city of Leibnitz as its administrative center.

Archaeological findings indicate Roman settlements in the area, particularly the municipium Flavia Solva established during the first century near present-day Leibnitz.

The district maintains strong wine production traditions, with numerous vineyards spread across municipalities like Gamlitz, Kitzeck im Sausal, and Ehrenhausen an der Weinstraße.

The region experiences a moderate climate with warm summers and mild winters, making it suitable for grape cultivation and outdoor activities throughout most of the year.

The district borders Slovenia and contains Kitzeck im Sausal, which sits at 564 meters above sea level, making it the highest wine-growing region in Central Europe.
