Talk:Styria

message: I've read many old horror stories about vampires, and they all seem to take place in Styria.  I'm surprised this has not been mentioned in the wiki article, but I don't feel qualified to chime in on it "officially."  Sheridan Le Fanu's "Camilla" is the only one I can think of offhand, but I have an old anthology with Dracula in the title, and there are three or four stories in it that take place in Styria.  I'll try to find more info if someone is willing to write it up.  I'll check back.Dvallere (talk) 01:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, I actually came to check if this said anything about the vampires. Because of Carmilla alone, Styria is definitely known as a haunting ground of fictional vampires. Since Carmilla came before Dracula, it could even be seen as the original one rather than the better known Transylvania. I think it should definitely be mentioned, although of course it's not that important so a couple of sentences would be enough. It would be interesting if there are any real vampire myths in the area or if they were just made up. I don't think LeFanu traveled much anywhere outside Ireland. 62.78.251.108 (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The last sentence of the first paragraph in the section "Economy" is as follows:
:"This has had negative consequences for the industrial regions of upper Styria which have suffered a steady decline in population in recent years." [italics mine]
This information seems to contradict information about recent population growth in the remaining paragraphs of the "Economy" section. Perhaps someone could clarify what is meant, or otherwise edit this to remove the seeming contradiction.CorinneSD (talk) 16:59, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I found
: Archduke John of Inner Austria 
which is horribly confusing -- basically bcz it conceals what it is that is unavailable: not information  on Inner Austria, but that on Inner Austria as an Archduchy
If my contrib
: John, Archduke of Inner Austria
is for any reason not acceptable to some editor (say, looking cryptic to anyone unwilling follow the links & see for themeself), then
: John, Archduke of Inner Austria
might please that editor (at the cost of ill-serving some users who came to Styria more interested in the turf than in its antique history). --Jerzy 14:12 &:21, 11 September 2016‎
::Well, all this is not only horribly confusing, but, as far as I know, actually somewhat wrong. 
::"Archduke John of Inner Austria", "Archduke of Inner Austria": There never were "Archdukes of Inner Austria". "Inner Austria" was not one land, it consisted of several duchies and counties. There was, however, the Archduchy of Austria (now approximately Vienna + Lower Austria + Upper Austria), and the Habsburg rulers of Inner Austria (and later all Habsburg princes) bore the title of an "Archduke of Austria. So Archduke John, as a Habsburg prince, was an Archduke of Austria, his brother, Emporor Francis, was Duke of Styria etc, etc, as the head of these lands and, of course, Archduke of Austria as the head of this part of his realm. John played an important role in Styrian history but he did not have any official functions. --83.181.32.125 (talk) 09:03, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

message: It is said, " ... and became a Grand Duchy of its own, in 1192 it became a part of Austria." 
a) Styria never was a Grand Duchy, it became a Duchy in 1180 and remained one till 1918. b) Styria did not become a part of Austria in 1192, however, Duke Leopold V. of Austria and most of his successors) ruled both countries.
It is said, "... John, Archduke of Inner Austria ...". John bore the title of an Archduke of Austria. He played an important role in Styrian history. (See also above.)

message: In "History" it is said "...the Franks and the Avars. In 595 the latter were defeated by the Slavs, who thenceforth ruled it." 
The Franks were not among the peoples who came to Styria. The Avars never really occupied this country, nor were they defeated by the Slavs in 595. However, at that time tribes of Slavs, who were under Avar domination, settled in what now is Styria and Carinthia. (595 was the year in which Avars had to retreat from Singidunum (Belgrade) when a Byzantine force approached.)  --213.102.124.156 (talk) 13:12, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
