in the history of Graz, the capital of Styria, first settlements are in the time around 3000 BC.
Stone Age
History is a proven colonization of the area around the Schlossberg since the Copper Age (about 3000 BC). Finds of stone tools in the region of the blind road, which can be dated around 2000 BC, suggest that there might have been a settlement south of the Schlossberg. During the Urn Field Culture multiple fixtures are proven for the Graz area. The various tribes were each other to some extent hostile, but the company began to be politicized and specialize.
Roman
The Grazerfeld was in the Roman Empire a densely populated agricultural landscape, as evidenced by numerous findings. The largest known Roman site in Styria was located in the area of today's airport Graz-Thalerhofstraße and was completely destroyed during its expansion in the 1940s [1] As a continuity from antiquity through regional roads are here but survived. During the Middle Ages as "strata hungarica" was known (from the east, coming from Pannonia, near St. Leonhard in the Grazerfeld leader and further west the Mur crossing), and the Roman road, today's Old post Road, the north-south direction, the Grazerfeld crosses and intersects the strata hungarica am Steinfeld (in the area of today's cleaning house-reasons).
