Antau ( Croatian Otava , Hungarian Selegszántó ) is a municipality with 774 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Mattersburg district in Burgenland in Austria .
There are numerous members of the Burgenland-Croat minority in the village .
geography
Antau is located in the Wulkatal and directly on the Wulka , the only river that flows into the Neusiedlersee . Antau is the only place in the community.
Community structure
Antau consists of a single cadastral community or town of the same name .
history
Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg .
Later under the Romans, today's Antau was then in the province of Pannonia .
As the origin of the place name shows, the place, documented since 1245, was initially settled by Hungarians.
The first map of the place, the so-called Walter map, was produced in the Baroque era in 1750/1754.
Like all of Burgenland, the place belonged to Hungary (German-West Hungary) until 1920/21 . Since 1898 had due to the Magyarization of the government in Budapest of Hungarian name Selegszántó 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 1971 the merger with Hirm took place , the seat of the newly created municipality of Hirm-Antau was Hirm. In 1991 the two districts were separated again and again two independent communities.
Origin of the place name
The place name has been attested as Zantho since 1245 . A document from 1390 mentions the Poss (essio) Zanthou et pratum Nadasreth dictum iuxta fluvium Bulka al (io) nom (ine) Selegh dictum ("possession Szántó [Antau] and the meadow called Nádásrét on the Bulka [Wulka]] river, the with another name also called Seleg ").
This designation is to be connected with today's Hungarian word szántó "field". The settlement got its name from its location on a field. The area was therefore originally inhabited by Hungarians. As was common with originally Slavic place names in Eastern Austria between 800 and 1200, the Hungarian initial / s / was adopted as [ts] in German. Later this initial sound was identified with the mhd preposition ze , which is common in place names , which meant that only Antau remained as the supposed actual name . The name of the Burgenland community Andau im Seewinkel also goes back to the same origin.
The Hungarian form of the place name today is Selegszántó ("Antau an der Wulka") , according to its location on the Wulka and to distinguish it from Andau im Seewinkel .
