Austria's Strongest Man is an annual strongman contest consisting of exclusively Austrian strength athletes.[1] The event was established in 1989, the inaugural winner was Manfred Hoeberl who would go on to win the title a total of 7 times.[1] His record was equaled by Martin Wildauer who also won the title 7 times.[2]
The title and winners often creates confusion as different sources provide different results, specially between 1992 and 2005, and the titles also coinciding with that of other competitions: Austrian Summer Giants and Austrian Winter Giants in addition to be governed by two different federations: Austrian Strongman Federation and Catch Wrestling Association.
