The municipality, Pölstal, was created as part of the Styria municipal structural reform,[3] at the end of 2014, by merging the former towns Oberzeiring, Bretstein, Sankt Johann am Tauern and Sankt Oswald-Möderbrugg.[4]
The municipality territory includes the following nine sections (populations as of January 2015[5]):
The municipality consists of the seven Katastralgemeinden Bretstein, Möderbrugg, Oberzeiring, St. Johann Schattseite, St. Johann Sonnseite and St. Oswald.
The municipality formed, together with Pusterwald and Pöls-Oberkurzheim, the tourism agency "Region Pölstal". The base is in the town Pölstal.[6]
