It combines proximity to Graz with its own town centre and infrastructure that keeps many everyday journeys short. At the same time, it sits close to major transport routes and Graz Airport. This makes Feldkirchen exceptionally accessible, but also means there are a few important factors to consider when choosing where to live. As of 1 January 2026, Feldkirchen bei Graz had around 7,550 residents. Its population has grown by approximately 37% since 2011, making it one of the more rapidly expanding communities around Graz. Its age structure is relatively young: around 17% of residents are under 15, while approximately 16% are aged 65 or older. ### Everyday Amenities Within Easy Reach Feldkirchen offers a solid range of everyday services. One of its practical advantages is that many essential facilities are located directly in or close to the town centre. The nearest doctor's office and pharmacy are each only around 50 metres away. The nearest kindergarten and primary school are approximately 150 and 100 metres away respectively. The closest middle school is also conveniently located, at around 150 metres. The nearest supermarket is roughly 300 metres from the centre. Within a two-kilometre radius, the available data records seven kindergartens, six schools, eight supermarkets and grocery stores, 15 restaurants and six cafés. There are also seven doctors' offices, two pharmacies and 45 public transport stops. The proximity of childcare facilities and schools is particularly useful for families. Many everyday errands can also be handled without travelling far. Those looking for a wider choice of shopping or cultural activities can additionally benefit from the nearby cities of Graz and Seiersberg. ### Quick Connections to Graz, but Close to Major Transport Routes A major advantage is Feldkirchen-Seiersberg railway station, located just around 200 metres from the town centre. On a typical weekday, the journey to Graz Central Station takes approximately 20 minutes by public transport, without any transfers. The connection to Vienna is considerably less convenient, taking around 170 minutes and requiring three transfers. Feldkirchen is also exceptionally well connected by road. The A2 motorway runs only about 150 metres from the town centre, and the nearest motorway access is approximately 250 metres away. The B67 main road is around 450 metres from the centre. Graz Airport is even closer, at just about two kilometres in a straight line. This location is convenient for commuters and people who travel frequently. However, the proximity of the motorway, railway line and airport is also something worth considering carefully when looking for a property. ### A Growing Community Between City and Countryside The strong population growth reflects how attractive Feldkirchen has become as a residential location. It is close enough to Graz to benefit from its jobs, educational institutions and leisure opportunities, while retaining its own town centre and a less urban structure. The surrounding area also offers opportunities for walks and outdoor activities. However, Feldkirchen is not an isolated rural retreat. Its proximity to major transport routes and the airport is just as much a part of its character as its convenient connections. ### Climate, Noise and Residential Conditions The average annual temperature around the town centre was approximately 10.8°C between 2015 and 2024, compared with 9.9°C during the 1991–2020 reference period. The area recorded around 20 hot days per year. According to the 2022 strategic noise maps, the town centre has road traffic noise levels of 55–59 dB (Lden). These maps cover only major transport routes and should be treated as a general guide. Actual noise exposure can vary depending on the street and exact residential location. The available flood hazard maps also show that the town centre lies outside the designated HQ100 and HQ300 flood areas. Feldkirchen bei Graz is particularly appealing to people looking for a young, growing community with convenient everyday amenities and excellent connections to Graz. Its proximity to the motorway, railway and airport is both one of its greatest advantages and an important factor when choosing the right part of the municipality to live in. ## Location of Feldkirchen bei Graz Feldkirchen bei Graz is a municipality in the district of Graz-Umgebung, Steiermark (postcode 8073, municipality code 60608).
