Hartberg (German: [ˈhaʁtbeʁk]) is a city in Styria, Austria, the capital of the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld District. As of 2014, it has a population of 6,449 in an area of 21.58 km2. About 68 km up the A2 is the large city of Graz.
This town has a long and rich history. A settlement was located here in the
Matthias Corvinus of Hungary
. A huge fire destroyed the town up to a few houses, but the population has been continually on the rise since then.
A massive protective wall surrounded it. In 1122 margrave Leopold I of Styria founded "Hartberg". Hartberg was even a central village in Styria for a certain time. The first written reference to Hartberg as "civitas" was in 1286.
