Einöd is a cadastral community (approx. 831 ha ) and a village on the northern edge of Kapfenberg in Styria.

According to the municipal law of 1848, the tax municipality Einöd (and others) should join a tax association with Kapfenberg in 1850. Kapfenberg was elevated to a town on May 9, 1924 as the fourth market in Styria and Einöd was incorporated (incorporated) into the same train.

Probably the first settlement took place around 5000 years ago in the Neolithic . Indications for this can be found in the Rettenwandhöhle , a stalactite cave with a 250 m long viewing section. It was researched and developed in 1922, and during the Second World War it served as a shelter from air raids.

Small open spaces in the narrow valley were originally used for agriculture.

Jakob Haberfellner received the "Flossenzerrennfeuerrechte" (license for iron smelting) in 1784, was affected by floods elsewhere and relocated his entire hammer system with (at that time) eight fires to the Stübming (river; also: Stübmingbach, Thörlbach) in 1787 after approval by the Graz governorate Desolate. "In the time of crisis around 1880, the tradesman Hans Pengg von Auheim, whose family owned the hammer mill on Thörl , bought the system and produced horseshoe nails until 1922." From 1923 location of Pengg-Walenta Steirische Kettenfabrik AG .

In 1885, Hans Pengg founded an ironworks (Hansenhütte) in Einöd, from which, after the merger with the Grazer chain factory of the Walenta company, Pengg-Walenta KG emerged, which among other things produces snow chains ( PEWAG chains).

From 1896 to around 1960 Einöd was also the seat of a wood processing company (Haberler), which exported special items made of wood and cardboard all over the world at the beginning of the 20th century . From 1936, light wood fiber boards were manufactured here for the first time in Austria . Pengg's cable works have been based here since 1960.

Between 1903 and 1923, the Capra spring in Einöd is captured and a water pipe is laid along Mariazeller Strasse to better meet Kapfenberg's needs. 1951 to 1955 the central well system in Hafendorf is created and the desert spring is closed.
