Bubendorf ( Hungarian : Lántosfalva ) is a district of the large community Pilgersdorf and belongs to the Oberpullendorf district in Austria .

geography

Bubendorf is located in the Zöberntal, in central Burgenland, between Kirchschlag in the Bucklige Welt and Lockenhaus . The area is hilly and wooded. In the vicinity of the place there are also larger fields where mainly grain is grown. Part of the municipality is located in the landscape protection area.

A cycle path leads from neighboring Lower Austria through the Zöbern- and Favoral to the city of Güns in Hungary. There are also several hiking trails with different levels of difficulty. One of them leads to Bernstein , where the only serpentine deposit in Austria is located.

history

Around 1300, the Güssing counts, as lords of Lockenhaus, settled here in "Latorfalva" court game people. Lator (mhd. Loter) in Hungarian means lute player, minstrel, jack. The place was originally called "Spielmannsdorf" and was later called Bubendorf.

In 1390 the place was first mentioned as "Lachofalva" (wrongly for "Latorfalva") and handed over to the Counts of Kanizsay with the 12 other villages of the Lockenhaus rule by the Hungarian King Sigismund . From 1397 the place is called "Lat (h) orfalva" or "Puebendorff" and in later Hungarian sources "Lántosfalva" (Spielmannsdorf). Bubendorf belonged to the lordship of Lockenhaus and the Eisenburg county and ecclesiastically to the Pilgersdorf parish (diocese of Raab, from 1777 to the newly founded diocese of Steinamanger).

In the land register of the year 1519 the first Bubendorfer were named (Johannes Suelyor, Johannes, Georgius and Coloman Thorma (Kren), Johannes Gloocz, Johannes Pocz, Petrus Kys (Klein), Vitus Varga (shoemaker), Luchas and Georgius Puhar (Puhr) and Georgius and Martinus Sulkos). The place consisted of 12 quarter farmers (3 2/4 fiefs) and 2 barren farms.

From 1528 to around 1670 Bubendorf was “administered” together with Deutsch Gerisdorf and Salmannsdorf by a court (judge and jury) that was appointed annually by the landlord. In 1532 the place was probably destroyed by the Turks during the siege of Güns.

From 1535 to 1671 the Counts of Nádasdy were the owners of the Lockenhaus estate and thus the landlords of Bubendorf.

From 1597 to around 1652 the landlords and the population joined Protestantism. While many neighboring towns were burned down by the Bocskay-Hajduken in 1605, most of the 14 quarter farmers and 5 Söllner (small house owners) from Bubendorf survived this disaster year without major damage, 4 farms and 1 Söllnerhaus were empty. The following subjects are named in the land register of 1608: Myll Mychell, Puer Pall, Perger Andreae, Styffter Toma, Czedly Gierygh, Pacz Mychell, Slegly Amburus, Kager Greger, Slegly Mertt, Slegly Hanz, Pad Steffl, Slegly Toma, Kren Thoma, Pyrger Symon and Söllner Slegly Mertt, Prykkell Toma, Puer Peter, Sleyffer Kholman and Suezter Steffl.

In the land register of 1639, instead of 3 2/4 sessions, 14 full sessions (20 half, 3 third and 12 quarter peasants) and 5 Sölln residents appear. Many new family names are mentioned, Bubendorf is likely to have been repopulated, from now on it consisted of about 40 houses.

From 1649 to 1675 the place was pledged to the Speidl family, Styrian aristocrats who ran a noble farm in Pilgersdorf. The land register of the year 1661 names 5 half, 5 third and 34 quarter peasants (12 2/3 sessions in total), 7 small houses and the mill of the Hons Pestnlehner. So the place must have had around 50 houses.

From 1652 Count Franz III. von Nàdasdy carried out the re-catholicization. From 1675 to 1848 the princes of Esterházy were the owners of the Lockenhaus manor and thus the landlords in Bubendorf.

From around 1700 onwards there was an economic setback; In 1702 half of the houses were uninhabited, in 1744 even two thirds. The epidemics ( plague and cholera ) and the Kuruzzi Wars were to blame for this . During the Rákocsy uprising (1703–1711), a major battle is said to have taken place near Bubendorf; the dead are said to have been buried on the Anger, which was then also called “by the graves”.

In 1732 a chapel in honor of St. Mother Anna erected.

In 1780 there were only 36 quarter farmers and 2 Sölln residents , some houses are likely to have fallen into disrepair and been demolished. The place had 280 inhabitants.

The first school was built around 1800; it was first mentioned in a document in 1802. From 1810 to 1812, today's branch church was built on the site of the Anna chapel, dedicated to St. Florian is consecrated. In 1828 the place consisted of 45 houses: 38 quarter farmers (9 2/4 fiefs), 17 of them were "widow businesses" - probably a consequence of the Napoleonic wars -, 4 smallhouses as well as the school, the "Halterhaus" and the church.

In 1848, with the "peasant liberation", the time of submission came to an end. The tasks of the landlord were now entirely taken over by state institutions (judges, bailiffs, mayors).

From 1860 to 1875 lignite was mined in Bubendorf near the "Sauholt" , mainly to cover the energy needs of the smelting furnace of Count Strachwitz in German Gerisdorf .

On April 10, 1866 and August 2, 1872, fires destroyed most of the village. Many Bubendorfer emigrated, the majority to Slavonia , some also to America . Some Rabnitztaler bought the fire sites and settled here (Mandl, Leidl).

In 1874 a separate cemetery was set up, until then the dead had been buried in Pilgersdorf.

In 1890 a volunteer fire brigade was founded together with Pilgersdorf . Bubendorf consisted of 61 houses and had 324 inhabitants.

Since around 1897 there has been an annual foot pilgrimage to Pinggau .

In 1900 Bubendorf got its own volunteer fire brigade, a fire station , a hand pressure syringe and the necessary equipment was purchased.

Ten Bubendorfer never returned from the First World War (1914–1918). Around 1920 the town received a makeshift electricity from the mill. After the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy disintegrated and most of the German-speaking areas of western Hungary were assigned to Austria. In August 1921 Austria tried to join Burgenland , Austrian gendarmes marched into Burgenland, in our area they advanced to Deutsch Gerisdorf.

On September 5, 1921, during the conquest of Burgenland , Hungarian militants pushed the Austrian gendarmes back to Kirchschlag . Because the Bubendorf miller Josef Karácsony had captured the militant leader Count Egan from Bernstein in Pilgersdorf and handed over to the Austrian authorities in Kirchschlag, the militants destroyed the mill and the miller's apartment. Besides the miller, who suffered the greatest damage in the whole of Burgenland , some Bubendorfer suffered greater losses. On November 27, 1921 the area was finally annexed to Austria .

On October 10, 1937, Franz Bredl from Bubendorf flew over the village in his "Nelly", a light aircraft he had designed .

Twenty Bubendorfer never returned to their homeland from the Second World War .

On March 30, 1945, the Russians occupied the village.

From 1948 to 1952 the lignite mine was reactivated.

In 1950 the place was connected to the BEWAG power grid .
