Gratwein-Straßengel
Since 2015 Gratwein-Straßengel (German: [ɡʁatˈvaɪn ʃ͡tʁasˈɛŋgl̩]) is a market town in the Graz-Umgebung District of Styria, Austria. The town took effect as part of the Styria municipal structural reform, from the end of 2014 with the merging of the former municipalities Gratwein, Judendorf-Straßengel, Eisbach and Gschnaidt. The merger made the market town population to be the 6th-largest in Styria.
