On October 21, 1998, all parties represented in the Graz city parliament decided unanimously to rebuild the Graz synagogue. On behalf of the City of Graz, the construction of the synagogue was made possible primarily through the efforts of Kurt David Brühl, then President of the Graz Jewish Community.

Graz Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The history of the town hall is a good example of the growing importance of Austria's second largest city. Around 1550, the town administration moved into a rather modest Renaissance building on what is now the main square, which also served as a prison. In 1803, it was replaced by a larger new building in the Baroque-Classical style. The huge increase in population in the 19th century and the growing self-confidence of the citizens led to the construction of today's town hall according to plans by the Viennese architects Wielemans and Reuter. It was completed in 1893. All the houses in the block were to make way for the building in the late historicist, old German style. This did not quite work out. There are still three narrow town houses on Herrengasse, literally clamped into the mighty town hall building. Their owners had refused to "sacrifice" the houses to the new town hall. For many, this is a symbol of the stubbornness that Styrians are said to have... The main façade of the town hall was greatly simplified in the 20th century. But the figures that were removed from niches and above the portal are now returning renewed: allegories of crafts, art, science and trade and important players in Austrian history. Inside, the quality of the meeting room, which extends over two floors, may make the work of the local council more pleasant. A wooden coffered ceiling, a gallery, wall paneling, even chandeliers and wall clocks have been preserved from the solid original furnishings of the late 19th century.

In 1886, Georg Hauberrisser the Younger, a native of Graz, also took part in the architectural competition for a new town hall. His project was not realized in his home town. But another town hall building was to bring him fame - that of Munich.

Mariensäule (Virgin Mary Column) at Eisernes Tor

Highlight • Monument

The Mariensäule (also called the Turkish column) forms an ensemble at the Iron Gate with the fountain. It stands at the southern end of the visual axis of Herrengasse. The Votive Column was completed in 1670 and is the redemption of a vow taken on August 1, 1664 at the time of the Turkish wars after the victorious battle of Mogersdorf under Count Raimondo Montecuccoli. The design of the column dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary is attributed to Domenico Sciassia, the stone carvings are by Abbondia Bolla and the casting of the column is by Adam Roßauscher. Arnold Schandernell from Augsburg was responsible for the work on the copper statue.

Originally built on Karmeliterplatz, the Mariensäule was transferred to the Jakominiplatz in 1796 at the expense of Kaspar Andreas von Jacomini and removed in 1927. The site was located approximately where today the tram lines 1, 3, 6 and 7 run. According to the plans of Tassilo Hüller, who also designed the fountain at the Iron Gate, one put the column in 1928 on its present place.

The column rests on a square substructure made of Salzburg marble over a step platform. Above are four cartridges with inscriptions. On the Corinthian bronze column is the eponymous, gilded figure of Maria Immaculata, which was modeled on the model of the 1646 erected in Vienna Mariensäule Am Hof.
