history

The place name derives from Guncinesdor and was mentioned for the first time in 1130 in the hall book of Klosterneuburg Abbey. The place was settled by the Babenbergers in the 11th and 12th centuries . The place suffered repeatedly from the invading Hungarians and later from the Turkish wars .

At today's intersection of the B17 and B18 there was a toll station until 1848. There was also a post office for changing horses there until 1847.

In the course of industrialization , a large cotton spinning mill was built on a specially constructed canal in 1847 , which in 1848 came to Nikolaus Dumba’s cousin , Theodor Dumba (1818–1880), who in 1849 received a simple factory license from the Schönau administration to produce cotton webs for Günselsdorf was awarded. After several changes of ownership, the plant existed until around 1965.
