History
editFrom the 1st to the 4th century the area was a part of the Roman province of Pannonia.
First documented mention of the town's likely founder, Count Guntram, dates back to 859, when Count Kozel gifted lands to the monastery of Regensburg and Count Guntram's name appears being listed for giving testimony.[3]
After the Anschluss of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938, Guntramsdorf became a part of Greater Vienna, only to regain its status as part of Lower Austria in 1954.
