!!!Hengistburg

Hengistburg, centre of the early-medieval Carinthian March from which 
developed today´s Styria. Destroyed in 1053 by the Hungarians, 
its exact location is one of the big unsolved puzzles of early Styrian 
history. Possible locations are Graz, St. Margarethen bei 
Lebring, the Wildoner Burgberg and St. Lorenzen am Hengsberg. 
There is significant evidence that the "castrum Heingist" was actually 
located in Hengsberg.
