History
In 1560 Duke Albrecht V founded the "Gröbenhüterhaus", which acted as the sovereign customs office. The name Gröbenzell was first documented in the 1975. The name Gröbenzell is derived from the local Gröbenbach.

Modern Gröbenzell really developed in the 1960s and 1970s with the EIWO settlement, which involved the building of approximately 250 townhomes. This and following settlements turned Gröbenzell into a suburb for Munich.

Gröbenzell is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Germany and is the most populous municipality in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck without city status. There are no further municipal subdivisions.

Gröbenzell was founded as a political municipality in 1952. In doing so, parts of municipalities from Munich, Puchheim, Olching, and Geiselbullach were merged into one location around the Gröbenzell train station.

Commerce
In the eastern part of the municipality, between the railway line and the state road to Lochhausen, the Gröbenzell industrial estate was established. In addition to the usual supermarkets and discount stores, various crafts and small industrial enterprises can be found there.

In the town center around Kirchen- and Bahnhofsstraße, along with a supermarket and various drugstores, there are several bakeries and confectioneries. Pharmacies, opticians, fruit and vegetable vendors also complement the local offering of goods and services.

The bustling Friday weekly market on Rathausstraße, with a wide range of meat, fish, and sausage products as well as fruits, vegetables, flowers, cheese, bread, and other items, supplements the everyday range of goods.

Road
Gröbenzell is connected to the federal motorway A8 via the exits Dachau/Fürstenfeldbruck or Lochhausen/Langwied, as well as to the A99 via the exit München-Lochhausen/Gröbenzell.

S-Bahn Service
In public transportation, Gröbenzell is connected to the Munich Transport and Tariff Association's S-Bahn network with its own stop on the S3 line (Mammendorf–Holzkirchen). The city center of Munich can be reached in approximately 20 minutes.

Railway Connection
The railway line from Munich to Augsburg cuts through Gröbenzell from southeast to northwest. Until the early 1970s, both parts of the municipality were connected for general traffic via a level crossing extension of Kirchenstraße to Bahnhofstraße. Up until then, the town still had a freight station. As part of the redesign of the S-Bahn station, the connecting road between the north and south parts towards Munich was shifted via an underpass on Freyastraße. Subsequently, Kirchenstraße was converted into a one-way street along its entire length, and the southern part of Bahnhofstraße became a dead-end, both only applicable to motor vehicle traffic. Additionally, pedestrian and bicycle traffic can still cross the railway line at this location.
