geography
Hirm is the only place in the municipality of Hirm.
history
Archaeological finds from the Copper Age (Baden culture) and from the Bronze Age indicate that the municipality of Hirm was settled in prehistoric times.
Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg . Later under the Romans, today's Hirm was then in the province of Pannonia . A large Roman estate in the east of the church bears witness to this time.
In the 16th and 17th centuries the Hirmer nobles were in the service of the Counts of Mattersdorf-Forchtenstein . During the war years 1605 and 1620 the Hirmer suffered from Hungarian rebels, Turks and Tatars.
In 1627 the new owner of the County of Forchtenstein , Count Nikolaus Esterhazy, added Hirm to his possessions. The construction of a large sugar factory in 1850 led to a decisive turning point in the history of the community and was associated with a rapid growth of the settlement.
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 Félszerfalva 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 state of Burgenland since 1921.
In 1944, the former sugar factory, which at that time was storing material for the Wiener Neustädter Flugzeugwerke, was bombed by American planes. While the place gradually lost its traces of war, the factory remained ownerless after the war and was left to decay. From the 1960s onwards, new production facilities were established on the site of the former sugar factory: those of the Austrian envelope industry (ÖKI), then still Myrtle Mill, Heinrich Sachs KG (SAX), Koh-i-Noor Hardtmuth AG, today Cretacolor , the company Erwin Mach Gummitechnik GesmbH (EM).
In 1971 the merger with Antau took place , the seat of the newly created municipality of Hirm-Antau was Hirm. In 1991 the two districts were separated again and again two independent communities.
