The oldest known evidence of Gratzungen can be found in a document, which shows that Archbishop Konrad von Mainz left a serf with her children to the Walkenried Monastery in 1184 and received a Hufe land in Grazingen in return .

The church in the Gratzungen district was built in 1755 instead of a smaller church that was demolished.
