history

In Göss was around 1004 pin Göss first monastery of Styria from the future Archbishop Aribo of Mainz , founded by the Abbey Nonnberg settled in Salzburg and by Emperor in 1020 Henry II. As Reichsabtei placed under his protection. In 1782 it was dissolved by Emperor Joseph II . With the creation of the tax communities around 1800, Göß was set up independently. Around 1840 were here two iron hammers (a Zerrenn - and a lighter hammer ), three forging ( scythes - hacking - and Nagelschmied ), a Hafner pestle , a nut press , a sawmill and two mills located.

In 1938, when large communities were formed all over Austria after the Anschluss , Göss, then a separate community, was incorporated into Leoben.
