history
The area around Beloiannisz was once owned by the Greek-Austrian entrepreneur Simon von Sina and his descendants and was expropriated in 1945. During the Greek civil war , Hungary took in Greek refugees. On May 6, 1950, they were allowed to start building their own village, for which this area was made available to them. They founded Görögfalva (Greek village), which was renamed Beloiannisz (after Nikos Belogiannis ) on April 3, 1953 .
After the end of the junta in 1974 and no later than 1982 (change in the citizenship law in Greece), part of the population emigrated to Greece and other countries of the then EC. Most of the remaining Greeks are assimilated. With the approval of the Greek Orthodox metropolis in Vienna, the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Constantine was built in 1996, it is located in the park of the same name. Today, 23.4 percent of the population say they are Greek.
