history
In 1969 the community of Stainztal was created through the merger of the five independent communities Grafendorf bei Stainz, Graggerer, Neudorf bei Stainz, Mettersdorf and Wetzelsdorf in western Styria.
The original name of the municipality Wetzelsdorf was 1 June 1951 in Wetzelsdorf in Weststeiermark been changed and was after the municipality merger, now as a place name, with effect from 1 February 1975 in Wetzel village in western Styria changed.
The name of the community Grafendorf changed on June 1, 1951 in Grafendorf bei Stainz and the community name Neudorf on March 1, 1949 in Neudorf bei Stainz .
Because of its origins, the Stainztal community had no community center and no parish of its own. Their area was in the parishes of St. Josef, Preding, Groß St. Florian and Stainz. The areas of mail delivery and the local associations in the area are also divided according to these parishes. When the congregation was founded, there were proposals to divide the Stainztal area into the neighboring congregations according to the parish districts instead of a separate congregation. These suggestions were made again in the context of the discussions about the municipal structural reform in 2012.
In older literature the valley of the Stainzbach near Luttenberg (Ljutomer) in the Pomurska region in Slovenia is also referred to as the “Stainztal” . This valley has nothing to do with the community described here. The Stainzbach in this context is the Ščavnica.
