We create the first dataset with a focus on Austrian German toxic language online and the first German dataset on toxicity featuring annotated spans facilitating explainability and error analysis. We find that LLMs not fine-tuned on AustroTox fail to recognize country-specific vulgar language and the targets of toxic statements (as of 1 / 2024).
