The drunken Turk at the new town hall at Grazer Tor – an interesting little anecdote: He's actually Croatian!

In front of the entrance to the town hall stands a sculpture by Prof. Hans Mauracher, which commemorates an incident during the war between the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus and Emperor Friedrich III.
When the Hungarian troops marched against Fürstenfeld in 1480, the Emperor sent Croats as reinforcements. On the way from Graz to Fürstenfeld, however, they visited the wine cellars and got drunk. The majority of them were killed by the Hungarians. So the "drunk Turk" is actually a "drunk Croat".
