Grazer

Grazer is the German demonym for a resident of Graz, the capital city of the Austrian state of Styria. In German, the masculine singular is Grazer, the feminine singular Grazerin, and the plural Grazer (mixed gender) or Grazerinnen for women. In English-language usage, Grazer commonly denotes a person from Graz.

Graz is the second-largest city in Austria and an important regional center in southeastern Austria. Its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its blend of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture as well as its contemporary urban design.

Graz has a long history dating to the Middle Ages. Notable sites include Schlossberg hill with the fortress, the Uhrturm clock tower, the Landhaus, and Eggenberg Palace. The Old Town preserves narrow streets and courtyards that reflect its development through centuries.

The city is a major educational and research hub, home to the University of Graz (founded 1585), Graz University of Technology (1811), and the Medical University of Graz. It hosts cultural institutions such as the Graz Opera, the Kunsthaus Graz (modern art museum), and the Landeszeughaus, the Styrian Armoury, one of the world's largest historic armories.

Note: In other contexts, "grazer" can refer to an animal that grazes or to someone who grazes, unrelated to the city’s residents.
