Sprawling industrial brick and silo structure of the historic Rösselmühle mill along the Mühlgang stream, alongside the repurposed Postgarage venue.
Concludes the route with industrial heritage along the artificial canal, contrasting 750 years of milling with independent subcultural reuse.
Our final stop brings us to the industrial edge of Gries along the historic Mühlgang stream. Milling operations on the Rösselmühle site date back over 750 years, tapping into the water power of this artificial canal until the mill finally ceased industrial production in 2014. Standing beside the sprawling brick mill structures and high grain silos is the Postgarage, a repurposed early 20th-century postal bus garage transformed into an independent venue for contemporary music and youth subculture. The precinct represents a major focal point for debate over adaptive reuse versus demolition in Graz, further complicated by structural damage from a major fire in 2023. Together, the ancient water mill and subcultural venue capture the spirit of the right bank: rooted in working-class labor, reclaimed by independent culture, and continually renegotiating its urban future.
