Basic Info
Description
In einem der ältesten und geschichtsträchtigsten Gebäude der Thermenhauptstadt Fürstenfeld befindet sich direkt im Zentrum das Stadtmuseum in der Pfeilburg:
Der Gebäudekern, der sogenannte „Schwartzturm“ aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, ist einer der wenigen erhaltenen mittelalterlichen Wohntürme der Steiermark. Das zum Turm gehörige Schloß aus dem 16. und 17. Jahrhundert war Wohnsitz der mit dem Turm belehnten Besitzer. Namensgebend war Hans Pfeilberg, einer der ersten Besitzer, der das Anwesen 1490 erwarb und mit dem Wiederaufbau nach dem Ungarneinfall von 1480 begann. 1691 kaufte Christoph Liscutin das Gebäude und errichtete hier die erste Tabakfabrik Österreichs und traf damit für die Stadt eine bis ins 20. Jahrhundert reichende wichtige Entscheidung. Nach dem Erwerb der Pfeilburg durch die Stadt waren hier eine Schule, eine Kaserne, ein Militärspital und letztendlich ein Armenhaus untergebracht.
Der Museumsverein rettete 1975 die Anlage vor dem Abbruch und von 1995 bis 1999 erfolgte eine umfassende Sanierung.
Ausgezeichnet mit dem Österreichischen Museumspreis für die reichen Bestände, die gelungene Präsentation und für die behindertengerechte Ausstattung findet im Museum Pfeilburg auf drei Etagen und rund 700 Quadratmeter Ausstellungsfläche Stadt- und Zeitgeschichte statt.
Seit der gelungenen Renovierung zählt die Pfeilburg zu den attraktivsten Sehenswürdigkeiten im Zentrum der Stadt. Unweit des Hauptplatzes und direkt an der alten Befestigungsmauer gelegen, bietet das historische Ambiente der Pfeilburg ideale Bedingungen für exquisite Konzerte, stimmungsvolle Sommerfeste, Kinderfestivals, Open-Air Film- und Präsentationsabende.

Discover art, experience history!
Our tour through the art and cultural history of Fürstenfeld with DI Karl Amtmannwas met with great interest! 😊
Together we set out to trace the past and discovered works by, among others, Fritz Silberbauer, Ben Rogler, Hans Mauracher and Alfred Kirchner. The stops included the ceramic relief by Alfred Kirchner in the Kulturhaus, the Hauptplatz and the Grazer Platz with their Marian columns and bridge saints.
A guided tour through the Josefikapelle provided an atmospheric conclusion.
The tour showed once again how much art, history and cultural heritage is hidden in our city right before our very eyes! 🏛️
🙏 Many thanks to all visitors for their great interest!

🏛️Understanding History and Drawing Lessons for the Present
The lecture "The Turkish Tumult of 1683 and Its Lessons for Today's Security Policy Situation" on October 16 at the Fürstenfeld Middle School attracted great interest.
Brigadier DDr. Andreas Stupka, an established military expert and author of numerous military history publications, shed light on the historical significance of the second Turkish siege of 1683 and its effects on the surrounding region.
It became clear: history does not only tell of past battles and political decisions. It also shows how societies deal with threats, fears and uncertainties. Questions that are once again highly relevant today.
The lecture encouraged a better understanding of historical connections and reflection on what insights we can gain from the past for the present and future.
🙏Museum Pfeilburg sincerely thanks Brigadier DDr. Andreas Stupka for this excellent lecture and all guests for their great interest.

The 'Türkenrummel' of 1683 – What History Teaches Us Today
How do historical events shape our understanding of security, conflicts and societal challenges? And what insights can we draw from the past for the present?
The lecture "The Türkenrummel of 1683 and Its Lessons for Today's Security Policy Situation" on 16 October 2026 in Fürstenfeld focuses on the connection between history and current security policy questions.
Historical Events Reflected in the Present
The year 1683 is one of the defining chapters of European history. The conflicts of that time between the Ottoman Empire and the European powers left far-reaching political and social traces.
Brigadier DDr. Andreas Stupka dedicates his lecture to the so-called Türkenrummel of 1683 and the question of what lessons can be drawn from it for today's security policy situation.
The evening invites attendees to view historical developments from a contemporary perspective and to reflect on the significance of history for our Europe today.
Understanding History – Recognising Connections
Engaging with the past opens up new perspectives on the present. The lecture offers history enthusiasts and all those interested in European developments and security policy an exciting opportunity for historical reflection.
Look forward to an evening that brings history and the present together.
