geography

Geographical location

The city is located in the Raab Valley in southern Burgenland on the banks of the Raab , about four kilometers as the crow flies from the Styrian and Hungarian borders. The closest towns are the Hungarian border town Szentgotthárd (St. Gotthard), as well as Fürstenfeld and Fehring in Styria. To the west Jennersdorf borders on the communities of Fehring, Unterlamm (SO) and Bad Loipersdorf (HF).

Community structure

The community consists of the cadastral communities , which are also localities (population in brackets as of January 1, 2020):

  • Grieselstein (665) including Grieselgraben, Harterberg, Hartwebereck, Schaffergraben, Schaufelberg and Steinberg
  • Henndorf im Burgenland (476) including Griab, Mitter-Henndorf, Ober-Henndorf and Unter-Henndorf

  • Rax (593) including Fiedlereck, Hobischberg, Kandlgraben, Rax-Bergen and Stangeleck

history

The first documentary mention as Janafalu took place in 1187 in a bull by Pope Urban III. The name is derived from the Slovenian "Ženavci", which can best be translated as "Frauendorf". Since there was no “zs” (which corresponds to the Slovenian ž today) in Hungarian , the sound was replaced by “gy” and the ending “-vci” (“-dorf”) was replaced by the Hungarian “-falu” ("-Village").

The place was owned by the Szentgotthárd Monastery until 1848 . The place belonged, like the whole of Burgenland, to Hungary (German-West Hungary) until 1920/21 . From 1898 had to because of the Magyarization of the government in Budapest of Hungarian name Gyanafalva 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 ).

In the last months of the Second World War , Jennersdorf formed the V / 7-Jennersdorf subsection of the southeast wall due to its geographical location . In addition to the local population, Hungarian Jews who were housed in various objects in the village itself and in the district of Grieselstein were also used for its construction . Following the outbreak of disease, there were several massacres that killed an unknown number of slave laborers. After the war, the victims were rescued by a Red Army commission and, in the 1960s, by Simon Wiesenthal . After the failure of the Balaton offensive of the German Wehrmacht , the Red Army occupied Jennersdorf, with violent fighting in the area around the place.

Jennersdorf has been a district suburb since 1921 and was elevated to a town in 1977. The city motto is: "Jennersdorf, the city by the thermal baths."

Population development

The decrease in the number of inhabitants in the last two decades is due to a strongly negative birth balance . If this balance was negative from 1991 to 2001 (−137), it could still be offset by the migration balance of +320. In the following decade from 2001 to 2011, there were 222 more deaths than births. This could no longer be offset by a migration balance of +183.

religion

Jennersdorf, which is the seat of the dean , is a Catholic community. Over time, however, more and more believers came from the surrounding evangelical communities (Neuhaus, Eltendorf, Deutsch-Kaltenbrunn), so that their proportion has meanwhile increased. Muslims and Orthodox Christians have also immigrated and many believers have since left.
