Premstätten is since January 2016 a new market town with 5,784 residents (as of 1 January 2016) in Graz-Umgebung District of Styria, Austria. However, it was previously founded in January 2015 as the town name "Unterpremstätten-Zettling".
The municipality was founded as part of the Styria municipal structural reform,[3][4]
on 31 December 2014, from the dissolved independent municipalities Unterpremstätten and Zettling.[5]
One petition from the municipality Zettling against merging, at the Constitutional Court, was introduced but was unsuccessful.[6]
After a corresponding municipal council, the municipality carries since 2016 the name "Premstätten".[7][8]
