Encyclopedic overview
Thal ( German pronunciation: [ˈtaːl]) is a village in the Austrian state of Styria, about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) west from the edge of Graz, Austria's second largest city. Its population in 2014 was 2,240.
Thal is most notably the birthplace of bodybuilder, actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, who lived there until 1966 at the age of 19, when he moved to Munich. In July 2011, Schwarzenegger opened his childhood house as the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum.
