Raaba-Grambach is a market town in the district Graz-Umgebung in Styria, Austria since 2015. It was created as part of the Steiermärkische Gemeindestrukturreform of Styria[3] at the end of 2014, dissolving the towns Raaba and Grambach.[4] One complaint from both communities against merging was raised at the Constitutional Court but ended unsuccessfully.[5]
