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 Ebenfurth was then in the province of Pannonia . In Ebenfurth, the road from Ödenburg to Vienna, already used by the Romans, forked into several branches. There was also a ford across the Leitha, which formed the border to Hungary. It is therefore assumed that a fortification already existed at the site of the later castle at the beginning of the 12th century. Since Ebenfurth was first mentioned in a document in 1160, it was probably a less important complex, probably a permanent house - today's Ebenfurth Castle . This facility was initially owned by the Feldsberger-Seefelder family and in 1270 became the property of the Pottendorfer family, who received toll rights here.

Due to its location on the Leitha, Ebenfurth is on the Lower Austrian border with today's Burgenland . Until 1920, Ebenfurth, like the Neufeld opposite on the Leitha, was a border town between Austria and Hungary . In the area between Ebenfurth and Neufeld, the battle of the Leitha against the Hungarians took place in 1246 , in which Duke Friedrich II (the "arguable") fell, making the Babenbergs extinct in the male line.

Between 1915 and 1934, the City of Vienna operated the Ebenfurth steam power plant in Ebenfurth . In its place today is a substation of Wien Energie .
