history
Kukmirn was first mentioned in 1185 in a document in a border description about the boundaries of the monastery Güssing against Medusbach (Dobersdorf) and Witin (Fedenberg - today a reed name).
The origin of the place name is not known. The interpretations range from the wild pumpkin (" Cucurbita ") to the descent from a Hungarian noble family ("blue duke") to a reference to the culture of the Celts .
The place Eisenhüttl (Jezerjani) is part of the settlement area of the Burgenland Croats . Like many other Burgenland villages, it was repopulated by Croatian colonists in the 16th century. The local population was still predominantly Croatian-speaking in the interwar period; Since the post-war period, the proportion of the Croatian ethnic group has declined sharply and was recently only around 11% (2001).
Like all of Burgenland, Kukmirn belonged to Hungary (German West Hungary) until 1920/21 . Since 1898 had due to the Magyarization of the government in Budapest of Hungarian name Kukmér be used.
After the end of the First World War , after tough negotiations, German-West Hungary was awarded to Austria in the Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon in 1919. The place has belonged to the newly founded federal state of Burgenland since 1921 (see also the history of Burgenland ).
In the course of the municipal structure improvement law of September 1, 1970, the previously independent municipalities Eisenhüttl, Kukmirn, Limbach and Neusiedl bei Güssing were merged to form the large municipality of Kukmirn on January 1, 1971.
In 1982 the municipality of Kukmirn was granted market rights.
On June 1, 2011, the municipal council passed the complete agreement on the plan for the division of assets and thus the separation of the parent community “Marktgemeinde Kukmirn” into the new communities “Limbach” and “Kukmirn” as well as the submission of the application to the state government for a decree a separation ordinance . However, the country rejected the separation with reference to an allegedly non-existent sustainable viability of the individual communities in early 2012.
