Wikipedia

Oberwölz is a city since 2015 in the Murau District of Styria, Austria. The city was founded as part of the Styria municipal structural reform, at the end of 2014, with the merger of the former independent municipalities Oberwölz Stadt, Oberwölz Umgebung, Schönberg-Lachtal and Winklern bei Oberwölz, whereby the new municipality became ranked as a city ("Stadtgemeinde").
