Peuerbach

Few towns in Upper Austria have a history as closely linked to late-medieval astronomy as Peuerbach. It is the birthplace of Georg von Peuerbach (1423–1461), the astronomer and mathematician whose work influenced the study of astronomy in 15th-century Central Europe. Set in the rolling Hausruckviertel west of the Danube, the town has the character of a compact regional centre amid farmland and wooded uplands. Its International Silvesterlauf, held each New Year’s Eve, is a longstanding fixture of Austria’s road-running calendar.
