The municipality extends from the flat Vienna Basin to the forest areas of the Anninger , which is already part of the Vienna Woods .

history

Teutonic Order Castle and Parish Church

• It was stone age people who settled here around 6,500 years ago. Their small settlement must have been underneath today's church, as recent discoveries have shown. There are other finds from Roman times , namely a few coins and a burial site. These finds confirm the assumptions of some archaeologists that a paved Roman road led past Gumpoldskirchen.
• The place was first mentioned in 1140 . On the eastern slopes of the Anninger, however, wine was already grown in prehistoric times. The name is derived from Gumpold von Passau . Gumpoldskirchen becomes a market and place of jurisdiction as early as the 14th century . This is also demonstrated by the Schranne in the middle of town.
• If the place already suffered from the first Turkish siege , an economic decline was noticeable after the Thirty Years War . The town hall (1559) and many other town houses that still stand today were built between the two wars.
• In 1763, Empress Maria Theresia sold the place to Baron von Moser .

• Industrialization began here at the end of the 18th century . In 1789 Bartholomäus Masgotz converted an existing building on the Anningerbach at today's address Wiener Straße 40 into a three-story high silk filing company , which was acquired by Joseph Kick in 1801 and at times worked with 3,000 bobbins ; In 1822 the property was (also) used as a pile , crepe and crepon factory. 1794 was created by John Metz instead of from Anningerbach fed cinnabar mill a buttoning and Leonean Drahtfabrik the 1818 the Knöpffabrikanten Joseph Wilda belonged., In 1822 was to lock one of Wiener Neustadt channel located, one in 1817 by Andreas Lemaire and C. equipped oil factory , the most important in Austria : it processed 8,000 Metzen seeds annually . In 1838 the Haimann'sche paper factory was in place of this operation , later, in 1878: kk priv. Heinrichsthaler machine paper factory Martin Kink & Co. A sheet metal and lead goods factory as well as a leather establishment were established before 1900. - Some of these companies worked until the second half of the 20th century . Today none of these factories exist anymore. The leather factory had to close after an environmental scandal in the 80s. Life-threatening exhaust gases were released from the chimneys almost unfiltered, leaky barrels with chemicals were stored in the ground, etc. The plant was only closed due to the enormous pressure of the population after it was classified as "very life-threatening to fatal" by an environmental report.
• The phylloxera disaster occurred in the 19th century. The phylloxera (Dactylosphaera vitifolii) was introduced from North America and spread across Europe in the second half of the 19th century. Gumpoldskirchen also suffered from the phylloxera invasion and it quickly became a myth. In 1884 all wine cultures were destroyed.
• The Wiener Neustädter Canal also contributed to the economic development of Gumpoldkirche in its time, which was subsequently continued with the construction of the southern railway , which was opened in 1841. In the course of the railway construction, the first Austrian railway tunnel with a length of 156 m was built. In everyday language it is still referred to as the " Busserltunnel " . It was given this nickname because it was previously not possible to switch on the lights in the wagons during the short transit time of the relatively short tunnel.
  The Guntramsdorf stop on the Südbahn is located in the municipality of Gumpoldskirchen and is registered as the Guntramsdorf-Südbahn stop under the localities and settlement names of Gumpoldskirchen.
• After the annexation of Austria in 1938 , the place was incorporated into the city of Greater Vienna to the 24th district. It was not until 1954 that the place became independent again and fell back to Lower Austria.
• In the course of the Second World War , heavy fighting between parts of the German 6th Panzer Army under Sepp Dietrich and the Soviet 3rd Ukrainian Front under Marshal Tolbuchin broke out in the Gumpoldskirchen - Guntramsdorf area in the first days of April . After Tolbuchin's surprising break-in into the southern Vienna Basin on April 1, the 2nd SS Panzer Division was relocated from the Neusiedler-See area to the south of Vienna on the night of April 2 and set up a line of resistance that ran from Gumpoldskirchen via Guntramsdorf and Laxenburg Moosbrunn was enough. Since Tolbuchin regrouped his troops from April 2nd to 4th to the western enclosure of Vienna and for a general attack from the south, Gumpoldskirchen remained at the front from April 2nd to 5th and suffered severe damage, especially from Soviet fire.
• In 1985 the glycol wine scandal caused a drop in prestige and sales. The stricter wine legislation forced many wine growers to rethink, which was beneficial to the quality of the local products.

• The parish church of St. Michael is a Gothic hall church. Under the presbytery is a small crypt, which was only rediscovered a few years ago.
• The Deutschordensschloss of the Teutonic Order dates from the 14th or 15th century.
• The town hall was built as a renaissance building as the Schranne court house by market judge Mang Kharner and master mason Anton Preiner in 1559. The arcades and the tower with clock are striking. The town hall is characteristic of the emerging bourgeoisie opposite the church. The pillar hall on the first floor can be viewed during official hours. There are also old dungeon cells in the town hall, but these cannot be viewed and are now used as storage rooms.
• The pillory , which stands directly in front of the town hall, was erected in 1563 (as evidenced by an inscription). The pillory was a sign of the community's market rights. But it was also used to punish lawbreakers - they were chained to the pillory as punishment.
• Adolf Loos House : The house built by the architect Adolf Loos in 1924 is located a little outside of Gumpoldskirchen and was originally called "Landhaus Spanner". Today it is home to a wine tavern, among other things.
• The Bergerhaus on Schrannenplatz, built in the 16th century, is owned by the municipality and is regularly available for exhibitions and vernissages. Many contemporary artists exhibit here all year round.
• The “Schwarzer Adler” inn is an old tavern, which stood empty for decades and fell into disrepair until it was renovated true to the original in the 1990s and now houses the “3er Haus” wine tavern restaurant.
• The old Zechhaus at Kirchenplatz 1 was first mentioned in a document in 1549. In the building complex there is a (Gothic) cellar, which, like the attic, dates from the 14th century. Since 1905 the house has been owned by the Krug family, who have been running a wine tavern in the house since 1970.

Different bat species, some of them very rare, are at home in the cave. In 1983 part of the cave collapsed, caused by permanent explosions in a nearby lime mine. It was a show cave until 1939 - a second artificial entrance was also created during this time.
