Bruck-Mürzzuschlag District

Bruck-Mürzzuschlag District comprises 19 municipalities in eastern Styria with varied landscapes ranging from industrial towns to forested valleys. The territory stretches across hilly and mountainous terrain with Bruck an der Mur serving as the main administrative center.

The district formed in 2013 when the separate Bruck an der Mur and Mürzzuschlag districts merged into one. A follow-up administrative change in 2015 consolidated several municipalities further.

The municipalities here host local festivals and events throughout the year that reflect Styrian customs and traditions. These gatherings show how people celebrate their connection to the region's heritage.

The region is well-connected by main roads and rail lines, making it easy to travel between its municipalities and neighboring areas. Public transport links the communities together, with Bruck an der Mur functioning as a central hub.

The territory historically served as a major transit corridor between northern and southern Europe and retains this role today. Traces of this past remain visible in how settlements and transport links are organized across the region.
