In 1182 Bad Radkersburg was mentioned in a document for the first time. At that time the town was still surrounded by two arms of the Mur and thus formed an "island".
Fürstenfeld was also founded around 1170 by Margrave Ottokar IV as a sovereign town to secure the imperial border to the east and as a trading town - impressive remains of the old fortifications still characterize the townscape.
