Geography
Strasshof an der Nordbahn lies in Marchfeld in Lower Austria. About 21.08 percent of the municipality is forested.
History
Strasshof had about 50 inhabitants in 1900, and a railroad yard functioned from 1908 to 1959.[3] In 1944, about 75 percent of 21,000 Hungarian Jews deported from a concentration camp at Strasshof survived due to an agreement between the Aid and Rescue Committee of Budapest and Adolf Eichmann.[4]
On 2 December 1944 the marshalling yard in "Straszhof" was targeted of an United States Army Air Forces bombing[5] by the 47th Bombardment Wing. There was solid overcast over the city causing the wing to bombed Wein Florisdorf Shell Refinery as an alternative. The west marshalling yard was bombed on 26 March 1945 by the 49th BW between 1224 ~ 1236 hrs; Strings across western half of yard and choke point, several large fires noted among goods wagons.
After the end of the Second World War, much of Austria was occupied temporarily by the Soviet Union. The 927th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the 59th Air Army, Soviet Air Forces, operated from Strasshof from 1952 to 1955, before being moved to Bereza in the Belorussian Military District.[6]
On 23 August 2006, kidnapped teenager Natascha Kampusch escaped after nearly 8½ years imprisonment in a cellar of a Strasshof house. The presumed kidnapper Wolfgang Priklopil committed suicide on the evening of the same day.
