Gramatneusiedl is a market town in the southern area of Vienna in the Damp level. The local workers' settlement in Marienthal was the scene of the study "The Unemployed of Marienthal" in 1933 and revolutionized sociology. In addition to the named settlement, there is also a large vintage car museum to see.
The neighboring communities Mitterndorf an der Fischa, Moosbrunn and Reisenberg should also be treated here, as the settlement development of the four municipalities lies across the municipal boundaries and thus also a district border.
background
The village was first mentioned in 1120 as Gezenniusidelen. As a result, the village was devastated twice in the Turkish wars of the 16th and 17th centuries. With the construction of the Raaber Bahn (Vienna-Budapest) by the municipality, industrialization began around 1850. In 1938 the village was incorporated into Greater Vienna and in 1954 it was spun off again as part of the Vienna area. After the dissolution of the district in 2017, Gramatneusiedl now belongs to the district Bruck an der Leitha

Tourist Attractions
Gramatneusiedl
- Marienthal. Former workers' settlement of the Marienthal textile factory. After the textile factory closed in the early 1930s, the misery and unemployment were particularly bad here. In 1933 Marie Jahoda, Paul Lazarsfeld and Hans Zeisel carried out a study on the unemployed in the settlement. The sociological case study pioneered modern social research. Although inhabited, the settlement deteriorated more and more in the following decades - also because of the damp subsoil - and large parts have already been demolished. The existing parts were placed under monument protection and renovated in the early 2000s. On the site there is a museum about the history of the settlement and a consumer museum (via the shopping cooperative or former supermarket chain).
