In that time, the town had been

developing intensively: we got a

university of our own and had started, in

addition to the railways, connecting the

town with the Middle Europe through

air traffic from our own airport, as well

as by building numerous highways. The

price for the new, independent Republic

of Slovenia was a deadlock in the

development, which we are promptlytrying to make up for.

Our industrial traditions, our high level

of the cultural offer, the ever-growing

connection between the University and

the industrial processes, the new-coming

generations of young researchers and

innovators, a connection to the world

and breathtaking outdoors with the

oldest vine in the world in the very core

of the city put Maribor on the map of the

world’s most economically interesting

cities. Not only that Maribor is a city of

past opportunities, Maribor remains

and also is a city of opportunities oftoday and of tomorrow.

Welcome to Maribor! Invest in Maribor!

Andrej Fištravec PhD

THE MAYOR OF MoM

In the beginning of the twentieth century, Maribor was a self-confident city that had,

without a trace of shame, flirted with the metropolitan Vienna. In the times of Yugoslavia

we had been the second biggest industrial town in the entire country.

The city by the river Drava, that is

celebrating its 850th anniversary

from the first time it had ever been

mentioned in the written documents

this very year, had developed under a

castle called the Castrum Marchburch,

mentioned in the documents in the

early 1164. In the year 1209, the city got

the rights to start trading, the market

rights, and it was mentioned for the

very first time as a town. Only a year

later, the townsfolk started to build a

two-kilometre long city wall with which

the old city core had been fenced in.

The wall had then been additionally

fortified with building the defence

towers which later helped defend the

city even from the Turkish invasions.

The buildings of the Medieval Maribor

Maribor is the second biggest city in Slovenia. It is a university town and the

economical as well as the cultural centre of the North Eastern Slovenia. It also has the

most favourable geographical location at the junction of important European routes.MARIBOR, A CITY

had been built from stones and wood

which had taken its toll on many

arsons. In the 17th century the plague

swept through town, killing a third of

the entire population. With a humble

gratefulness that the plague was

defeated, the people of Maribor built

one of the most beautiful statues in the

city, the Mary’s or the Plague column.

The building of railway tracks connecting

Vienna and Trieste back in the 1846

greatly contributed to the development

of Maribor. A once small town started

growing rapidly, expanded and

industrialized, the traffic started to

expand and it was soon a necessity to

build new roads and bridges. However,

due to all this changes, Maribor started

to lose its medieval portrait.

There is a special place in the history

of Maribor reserved for the General

Rudolf Maister who gave the outlines

and defended the Northern border of

Slovenia and this way made sure that

Maribor remained a part of Slovenia.

After the World War I, Maribor was the

fastest growing town in the Country

with numerous industrial plants in the

Melje borough. During the World War

II the Germans invaded Maribor which

resulted in strong bombing attacks on

the city from the allies. Maribor had

been so damaged and destroyed, the

consequences could still be seen for

decades after the war had ended. After

the World War II, Maribor started rapidly

developing its economy and became

one of the industrially strongest

towns in Yugoslavia. However, the

town’s development had been mostly

10 11

industrial and therefore it had, in

the 1990s as Yugoslavia fell apart,

lost its most important market – the

Yugoslav market, and found itself in an

excruciating economic crisis.

However, a strong will, firm ambitions

and a new vision gave back life to the

town and opened new opportunities

for its development. The Maribor

economy has now been restructured

and an accelerated development of

tourism and other service activities

have started. A vast improvement has

been reached especially in the field

of Culture. Every year, there is the

Lent Festival – the biggest festival in

Slovenia, as well as one of the biggest

in Europe. In the year 2012 Maribor

was, together with partner cities, the

European Capital of Culture.

people in general are famous for being

on the very top of all such European

surveys. The surveys show that in

Slovenia, 92 percent of people between

the age of 25 years and 64 years,

speak at least one foreign language,

out of which over 70 percent speak

two or more foreign languages. Most

common are English and German,

youth, however, is showing more and

more interest in learning French, Italian,

Spanish and Russian.

The economic and financial crisis has

strongly affected Maribor and many

people lost their jobs. Our greatest

concern is unemployment among young

people, however, it can at the same

time send a positive signal to potential

investors, since it means the the town

can offer quality workforce.

Maribor is the second largest city in

Slovenia and it prides itself with an

exquisite geo-strategic position since it is

situated in the heart of Europe and on the

junction of important European trading

routes. The favourable position of the

town enables companies a fast access to

the markets of the Middle, Eastern and

Western Europe. Maribor is also an ideal

entering point for the markets of the

Western Balkans. This is not only due to

the short distances, but also because of

the mutual history, cultural and linguistic

similarities and the old, long-lasting

business connections Slovenia has with

the nations of the region.

economy since there are several successful

companies situated in Maribor who are
