Graz as a garden city, in which over 70% of the area is covered by greenery.

Almost lavishly, the city park stretches like a green ribbon around the once fortified old town centre. In the 19th century, it took courageous people to prevent the former glacis from being obstructed and to lay out the park with partly exotic trees.

Dedicated young artists made the city park famous throughout Europe in the 60s and 70s of the 20th century. They founded the "Forum Stadtpark", which is still an important meeting place for the avant-garde of all artistic genres.

Thus the Stadtpark also reveals itself as a field of tension between romantic idyll and impulses for completely new things.
