Sankt Michael in Obersteiermark is a municipality in the district of Leoben in the Austrian state of Styria.

In the Battle of Sankt Michael (or Sankt Michael-Leoben) on 25 May 1809, Paul Grenier's French corps crushed Franz Jellacic's Austrian division at Sankt Michael in Obersteiermark, Austria. The action occurred after the initial French victories during the War of the Fifth Coalition, part of the Napoleonic Wars. Sankt Michael is located approximately 140 kilometres (87 mi) southwest of Vienna. Originally part of the Danube army of Archduke Charles, Jellacic's division was detached to the south before the Battle of Eckmühl and later ordered to join the army of Archduke John at Graz. As it retreated southeast toward Graz, Jellacic's division passed across the front of Eugène de Beauharnais' Army of Italy, which was advancing northeast in pursuit of Archduke John. When he learned of Jellacic's presence, Eugène sent Grenier with two divisions to intercept the Austrian column. Grenier's lead division duly intercepted Jellacic's force and attacked. Though the Austrians were able to hold off the French at first, they were unable to get away. The second French division's arrival secured a clear numerical superiority over Jellacic, who was critically short of cavalry (only 60 horsemen) and artillery (one half-battery against two Grenier's batteries), and also had a poorly trained Landwehr with a total number of up to 2,880. Grenier's subsequent French assault broke the Austrian lines and captured thousands of prisoners. When Jellacic joined John it was with only a fraction of his original force.

The tunnel was in part built as an alternative route from Graz to the Murau District and the Murtal district, shortening the trip by about 20 minutes. Currently the tunnel has only one tube with oncoming traffic. The speed limit is 80 km/h and it has a toll of 10 euro. A second tube is under construction since 21 September 2013. The whole project will cost about 299 million euro. The new tube was opened on 21 July 2017: both tunnels will be in service until September 2017, after which the old tube will be closed for renovation. Both tubes will definitively open in 2019 according to the project plan.
