about Bad Großpertholz

Bad Großpertholz, a market town in the Gmünd district in Lower Austria with currently 1286 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2024), is characterized by a strong rural character. The municipality comprises 82.4 km², of which 76.39 percent are forested. The region is known for the beautiful Nordwald Großpertholz nature park, which was founded in 1987 and offers numerous leisure opportunities. Historically, the place plays an important role, since it was founded in the 12th century and at that time served as an important transshipment point for the glassware produced in the area, such as Wikipedia reported.

The political landscape of Bad Großpertholz has also changed a lot in recent years. The current mayor Manfred Grill (SPÖ) leads the municipality after a sobering decline in the population, especially after 1951, when many people migrated. The impending elections promise to revive the balance of power in the local council, which is illustrated by the newly elected number of 19, which represents both the ÖVP and SPÖ and FPÖ.
