history

• Gradnitz was first mentioned in 1139 with the name Gradenze in the founding document of the Zwettl Monastery . The name is derived from the Slavic word grad (German: castle ) and thus describes the area around a castle.
• When the feudal social system was abolished in the Austrian Empire after the revolution of 1848/49 , independent communities were formed everywhere. An unrealized draft for the Waldviertel stipulated that Gradnitz should belong to the local community of Zwettl. Due to resistance from the population, Gradnitz was finally allowed to constitute itself as an independent local community in 1850 .
• In the course of the voluntary amalgamation of municipalities after 1968, Gradnitz joined the newly formed municipality of Zwettl in 1970.
