To mark the opening of the Koralmbahn railway line, a joint exhibition by the Graz Museum of History and the Kärnten Museum in Klagenfurt is dedicated to the centuries-old relationship between Carinthia and Styria. It tells of paths, motivations, and connections—and why people have repeatedly crossed this region over the centuries.
The Koralmbahn railway will go into operation on December 14, 2025. To mark this occasion, the Graz Museum of History and the kärnten.museum Klagenfurt have developed a joint cultural history exhibition on the special relationship between the two federal states of Carinthia and Styria.
The starting point for the project is the question of why people have set out on journeys in this region over the last 1,000 years. Their main motives—survival, domination and administration, trade and work, research and learning, and the search for relaxation—form the chapters of the exhibition, which covers a total area of around 800 square meters in Graz and Klagenfurt. These chapters are linked by the routes, the historically verifiable connecting lines between today's federal states.
Whether Pack, Drau, or Soboth—depending on the time and state of technical development, they were more or less significant and difficult to overcome.
