Due to the abundance of water in the Pittental and the associated frequent flooding, the first settlements in this area were difficult to access in the elevated side valleys.

In 1529 CE, Edlitz escaped a Turkish attack when the Turks approached the area, but were startled by the midday ringing of the bells and turned back.

In 1608 CE, pastor Georg Hayden was kidnapped by Hungarian forces to Güns and only released after 6 weeks after paying a ransom of 200 guilders.

At the end of the 18th century, Edlitz once played an important role in economic and transport life in the Bucklige Welt.

The etymology is unclear, there are two theories: The 19th century brought a significant improvement in traffic conditions, when Count Palffy had the equestrian bridge from Grimmenstein to Edlitz and further on via Thomasberg to Kirchschlag and Güns expanded into a country road in 1815 CE.

Edlitz station was built outside the municipal boundaries because the building site in Grimmenstein, which was then called "Am Treitl", was cheaper.

According to the Austrian address book in 1938 CE, there was a doctor, two bakers, a butcher, a hairdresser, five innkeepers, five grocers, a glazier, two cellulose factories, a master bricklayer, four millers, a mill construction company and two fruit and vegetable dealers in the market town of Edlitz, two boarding houses, three sawmills, two blacksmiths, three tailors and seven seamstresses, six cobblers, a soda water producer, two tobacconists, three carpenters, a watchmaker, a cattle dealer, a grocer, two wheelwrights, a dental technician, a master carpenter and some farmers are resident.

In recent years, the main focus of the municipality has been on improving the infrastructure in the areas of road construction, water supply, canal, kindergarten, fire station and office building.

Almost square in plan with four cross-vaulted bays supported in the middle by a pillar, the nave is the main building element.

A small stone tablet set into the wall above the gate bears the year 1463 CE and the name Oswald in Latin letters.
