The March or Margraviate of Austria was created in 976 out of the territory that probably formed the earlier March of Pannonia. The March of Pannonia was a frontier march of the Carolingian Empire erected in the mid-ninth century against the threat of Great Moravia and lasting only It is also called the Bavarian Eastern March or Ostmark in German and marcha Orientalis in Latin.
The first march covering approximately the territory that would become Austria and Slovenia, was the Avar March established by Charlemagne in the late 8th century against the Avars. Austria (Österreich ( officially the Republic of Austria (Republik Österreich Slovenia, officially the Republic of Slovenia (Republika Slovenija) is a Country in southern Central Europe bordering Italy to the west The Avar March (Awarenmark was a frontier district established by Charlemagne against Avaria in the southeast of the Carolingian Empire.

When the Avars disappeared in the 820s, they were replaced largely by a Slavic people, who established the state of Great Moravia. Great Moravia (see Name section was a Slavic state that existed in Central Europe from the 9th century to the early 10th century The region of Pannonia was set apart from the Duchy of Friuli in 828 and set up as a march against Moravia within the regnum of Bavaria.

These marches corresponded to a frontier along the Danube from the Traungau to Szombathely and the Raba river and including the Vienna basin.

In 976, during a general restructuring of Bavaria, the Emperor Otto II erected a new march, called, like its Pannonian predecessor, the marcha orientalis. This is the history of Austria. See also the History of Europe and History of present-day nations and states. The Hallstatt culture was the predominant Noricum, in ancient Geography, was a Celtic kingdom (perhaps better described as a federation of by tradition twelve tribes stretching over the area of The Privilegium Minus (as opposed to the later Privilegium Maius, which was a forgery is a document issued by Emperor Frederick I on September 17, The Holy Roman Empire ( HRE; German Heiliges Römisches Reich (HRR, Latin Sacrum Romanum Imperium (SRI was a union of territories in The Archduchy of Austria (Erzherzogtum Österreich one of the most important states within the Holy Roman Empire, was the center of the Habsburg Monarchy and Habsburg Monarchy (alternatively Habsburg Empire) refers to the territories ruled by the Austrian branch of the House of Habsburg, and then by the successor For the history of these states before 1804 see Holy Roman Empire, Habsburg Monarchy, and articles on each of the component countries.

Austria (Österreich ( officially the Republic of Austria (Republik Österreich It was not long before the Bavarian eastern march acquired its name of Austria. In 996, the march ruled by the Babenberg family was described as regione vulgari vocabulo Ostarrîchi, that is, "the region called 'Ostarrîchi' [the Eastern Realm] in the vernacular. " The term Ostarrîchi is linguistic ancestor of the German name for Austria, Österreich.
The early margraviate was populated by a mix of Slavic and native Romano-Germanic peoples who were apparently speaking Rhaeto-Romance languages, remnants of which remain today in parts of northern Italy (Friulian and Ladin) and in Switzerland (Romansh). Rhaeto-Romance languages are a Romance language sub-family which includes multiple languages spoken in North-Eastern Italy and Switzerland. Friulian ( or affectionately marilenghe in Friulian friulano in Italian) (also Eastern Ladin) is a Romance language belonging Ladin ( Ladino in Italian Ladin in Ladin Ladinisch in German is a Rhaeto-Romance language spoken in the Dolomite mountains Romansh (also spelled Romansch, Rumants(ch or Romanche) is one of the four official languages of Switzerland, along with German, In the Austrian Alps some valleys retained their Rhaeto-Romance speakers until the 17th century. The early march corresponded closely to the modern region of Lower Austria. Lower Austria (Niederösterreich is one of the nine states or Bundesländer in Austria. Its chief city was Sankt Pölten, though it eventually became Vienna. Sankt Pölten ( St Pölten) is the capital city of the Austrian State of Lower Austria.
The obscurity of the period from circa 900 until 976 leads some to posit that a Pannonian or Austrian march existed against the Magyars, alongside the other marches which were incorporated into Bavaria in 952 (Carniola, Carinthia, Istria, and Verona). Hungarians (or Magyars, magyarok are an Ethnic group primarily associated with Hungary. The March (or Margraviate) of Carniola (Stara Kranjska Krain was an imperial estate of the Holy Roman Empire and predecessor estate of the The March of Carinthia was a frontier district (march of the Carolingian Empire created in 889 The March (or Margravate) of Istria was originally a Carolingian frontier march covering the Istrian peninsula and surrounding territory The March of Verona and Aquileia was a vast march (frontier district in northeastern Italy during the early Middle Ages, centered on Verona and Aquileia [1] However, much of (Lower) Pannonia was now conquered by the Magyars. The Austrian march was raised on the territory which remained in 976. The first margrave, Leopold I, replaced one Burchard, whose status is not well known but may represent a continual margravial authority in the region during the interval 900–976. Leopold I, also Luitpold or Liutpold (died 994 was the first Margrave of Austria from the Babenberg dynasty Burkhard was Margrave in the Bavarian Ostmark ( marchia orientalis) the territory that was later to become the Margravate of Austria, the core
The initial Babenberger residence was probably at Pöchlarn, but maybe already Melk, where subsequent rulers resided. Pöchlarn is a town in the district of Melk in the Austrian state of Lower Austria.

The original march coincided with the modern Wachau, but was shortly enlarged eastwards at least as far as the Wienerwald.

Margravial Austria reached its greatest height under Leopold III, a great friend of the church and founder of abbeys. Saint Leopold III (1073 &ndash November 15, 1136) was the Margrave of Austria in 1095-1136 He patronised towns and developed a great level of territorial independence. In 1139, Leopold IV inherited Bavaria. Leopold IV, the Generous (c 1108&ndash October 18, 1141) was Margrave of Austria from 1136 and Duke of Bavaria from 1139 until his When his successor, the last margrave, Henry Jasomirgott, was deprived of Bavaria in 1156, Austria was elevated to a duchy independent from Bavaria by the Privilegium Minus of the Emperor Frederick I.
