Geography


Podersdorf is located on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl, 121 meters above sea level. It is the only village where access to the lake is not impeded by mud and reed growth. The region between Neusiedl am See and Hungary is known as Seewinkel and is part of the Little Hungarian Plain. This flat and mostly treeless Puszta with numerous small lakes and ponds, shows a unique flora and fauna. The town is part of the national park Neusiedler See-Seewinkel. Since 2001, the cultural landscape has been a World Heritage Site.


History


Discoveries from the Stone Age and Bronze Age show that the area around Podersdorf has been populated for a very long time. In 9 AC the province 'Pannonia' was established. Deforestation of oak woods by early dwellers lead to the bleak Puszta landscape that predominates today. Podersdorf was regularly exposed to raiding horse people like the Huns, Magyars or Avars. In the 13th century, the earl Poth took over Podersdorf and Potzneusiedl, which explains the name change from Altdorf to Podersdorf. In the donation document of the year 1217, which is evidence of the donation to the Cistercian Order instructed by King Andreas II, the village is evidenced by documents for the first time.

Until 1919/20, Podersdorf was named 'Patfal' and was part of Hungary. After the First World War, Burgenland was named Deutsch-Westungarn (German-West Hungary) in the 1919 Treaty of St. German and the Treaty of Trianon and was awarded to Austria in 1919. Since 1921, the town has been part of the newly founded State of Burgenland.
