history
The area northeast of the Neusiedlersee has been populated since the Stone Age. Finds from this epoch as well as from the Bronze Age and Hallstatt Age prove this. Even during the Roman occupation (3rd to 5th centuries), a dense settlement is assumed here.
Around the 10th century, the Bissen dynasty settled here , which was commissioned by the Magyars to secure the western border. The place Gols was first mentioned in a document in 1217. In 1582 Rudolf II granted the market rights and the coat of arms. At the beginning of the 17th century, members of the Batthyány family took in southern German Protestant settlers.
Like all of Burgenland, the place belonged to Hungary (German-West Hungary) until 1920/21 . Since 1898 had due to the Magyarization of the government in Budapest of Hungarian name Gálos be used. After the end of the First World War , after tough negotiations, German-West Hungary was awarded to Austria in the Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon in 1919. The place has belonged to the newly founded federal state of Burgenland since 1921 (see also the history of Burgenland ).

This chapel survived until the First World War. After 1922 there were several smaller bands, which are repeatedly mentioned as the Golser band or local band.
After the political upheaval in 1938, a large band was built for the Gols local chapel; Lorenz Schrammel took over the leadership at that time. After the war, Johann Toth was the conductor of a smaller music group. The music association was founded in 1970.
