Erdberg is a cadastral municipality in the municipality of Poysdorf in northern Lower Austria . The village has 305 inhabitants (2001 census). It is located 55 km north of Vienna on federal highway 7 .

Grave monument on the Europastraße

The name of the village is said to be derived from "Erdpurch", since many years ago an earth castle to defend against the Hungarians should have stood here.

The place lives mainly from viticulture and to a lesser extent from the strongly declining livestock farming .
