Gratwein-Straßengel is a market town in the district of Graz-Umgebung in Styria since the beginning of 2015. It was created as part of the municipal structure reform in Styria from the municipalities of Gratwein, Judendorf-Straßengel, Eisbach and Gschnaidt, which were dissolved at the end of 2014, and thus became the sixth largest municipality in Styria in terms of inhabitants. The municipality is located on the western (right) bank of the Mur about ten kilometers northwest of the provincial capital Graz.
