Graz Under National Socialism
Walk the streets where one of Austria's darkest chapters unfolded. This self-guided audio tour traces Graz's role during the Nazi era and the Second World War — from the Anschluss and the persecution of Jewish and political communities, to the Allied bombing raids that left scars still visible today. Hear the personal stories behind the buildings and squares you pass, told with the historical depth this period demands. A serious walk, at your own pace.

What To Expect
Am eisernen Tor
A gilded Baroque column to the Virgin Mary marks the southern gateway into Graz's old town. In 1938 the National Socialist regime sheathed it in a towering propaganda obelisk to crown the city it had named 'City of the People's Uprising'.
Church of the Franciscans (Franziskanerkirche)
A medieval friary church whose narrow Gothic chancel was gutted by an Allied bomb in the last winter of the war. Its tall tower still rises over the old town as a quiet witness to the destruction of 1945.
