Eisenzicken is a village and a cadastral municipality in the municipality of Unterwart in Burgenland. The village has 288 inhabitants (January 1, 2020).

In the 10th century a group from the followers of the Hungarian tribal prince Kurzan was deported to the western border, which gave rise to today's Eisenzicken. It is believed that these first inhabitants of Eisenzicken were mostly blacksmiths. In the 13th century, the smelting and ironworking was given up and the population was entirely subordinate to the Rotenturm rule. As a result of the abolition of serfdom and the Urbarialverband, the manorial jurisdiction and all rights derived from it also expired, so that Eisenzicken was constituted as a village community. In 1971 it was merged with the neighboring community of Unterwart.
