Harmisch is a district of Kohfidisch , a municipality in Burgenland in Austria . The place is about 25 km southeast of Oberwart and about 5 km from the Hungarian border in a side valley of the Pinka that is open to the east . In the north, west and south the place is surrounded by forests.
history
On the Hohensteinmaissberg to the west of Harmisch, limestone was extracted, burned and delivered to the surrounding area as building material even before the town was founded.
The place itself was founded by Croats in 1680 and is first recorded in a Hungarian chronicle in 1773 as Hovardos, Harmis , and in 1786 as Owardosch, Harmisch . Since its foundation, the place was part of the lands of the Erdődy family , who also owned a castle in neighboring Kohfidisch . In 1851 Harmisch had 194 inhabitants, in 1910 there were 192.
Like the rest of Burgenland, the village belonged to Hungary (German West Hungary) until 1920/21. Since 1898 the Hungarian toponym Hovárdos had to be used due to the Hungarian government's policy of Hungarianization. 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). Despite the predominantly Croatian- speaking population for a long time , after the Second World War most of the residents committed themselves to the German-speaking population group.
In the course of the implementation of the Municipal Structure Improvement Act, the municipalities of Kohfidisch, Kirchfidisch, Badersdorf and Harmisch were merged to form the large municipality of Kohfidisch in 1971, with Badersdorf being independent again since 1993.
