Bruck an der Mur is a city in the Austrian state of Styria (judicial district of Bruck an der Mur). Bruck is also the seat of the Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district authority and the fourth largest city in the province, as well as an important transportation hub.
The city is located in the middle Mur valley between Leoben and Kapfenberg at the confluence of the Mürz and Mur rivers. East of the city center, the Mur changes its flow direction from east to south. The city area also extends into the Lamingtal valley. In the north, it merges with the neighboring town of Kapfenberg. The Kornmesserhaus (a well-preserved Gothic town house), the Eiserne Brunnen (iron fountain) and the second largest inner-city square in Austria are particularly well known. Trade and the service sector predominate, and the Bruck an der Mur railroad station is one of the largest railroad junctions in Styria. In the Middle Ages it was the most important trading town in Upper Styria. The pedestrian zone of Bruck is designed with a Mediterranean flair. Together with Graz and Friesach, Bruck is one of the oldest cities in Austria.
On January 1, 2015, the formerly independent market town of Oberaich was incorporated as part of the municipal structural reform in Styria.
Bruck an der Mur is home to the Höhere Bundeslehranstalt für Forstwirtschaft, the first and only forestry school in Austria, which was extensively expanded in 2012. In 2006, the Styrian Provincial Exhibition with the theme "Paths to Health" took place in Bruck an der Mur.
