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 is a sculpture by Prof. Hans Mauracher, which is based on an incident during the war between the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus and Emperor Friedrich III. remind.
When the Hungarian troops marched against Fürstenfeld in 1480, the emperor sent Croats to help. On the way from Graz to Fürstenfeld, however, they went to the wine cellars and got drunk. Most of them were slain by the Hungarians. So the "offensive Turk" is actually an "offensive Croat."
