Leutschach an der Weinstraße is since January 2015 a new municipality with 3,794 residents (as of 2016-01-01) in the Leibnitz District of Styria, Austria.
The municipality was founded as part of the Styria municipal structural reform, on 31 December 2014, from the dissolved independent municipalities Leutschach, Schloßberg, Eichberg-Trautenburg and Glanz an der Weinstraße.
On January 1, 2015, the administration of the new market town, Leutschach an der Weinstraße, moved into the renovated office building, in which all municipal council offices are housed.
The town formed, together with Ehrenhausen an der Weinstraße, Arnfels, Oberhaag and Straß in Steiermark, the tourism agency "Die südsteirische Weinstraße" with base in the town Leutschach an der Weinstraße.
The municipal territory includes the following ten sections or like-named Katastralgemeinden (populations as of 1 January 2015,):
In 1250, the name "Leutschach" was first recorded ("Liubschach"). In 1458 Emperor Frederick III gave the place the market right and the own jurisdiction.
The municipality Leutschach originated in 1850 from the Werbbezirk Trautenburg and was then substantially greater. It was divided in 1882 into the municipalities of Markt Leutschach, Glanz, Schloßberg and Eichberg-Trautenburg. Due to the restructuring of the state of Styria, the autonomy of the four municipalities ended after 132 years.
