history
A Hiltigrims von Gruscharn is first mentioned in a document around 1195. The village "Gruscharn" was called from 1659 Stainach. The Stainach family was raised to the rank of count in the 18th century. The abolition of the manors took place in 1848. The local community as an autonomous body was established in 1850.
The construction of the Ennstalbahn in 1875 and the Ausseerbahn in 1877 opened up the former community. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the former municipality became part of the Reichsgau Steiermark, from 1945 to 1955 it was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria.
