history

World War II Memorial

The first traces of settlement go back to the Stone Age .

Finds from the late La Tène period (190 BC until the birth of Christ) were located on the northern bank of the Rabnitz , about 400 m northeast of the village . Excavations carried out by the Landesmuseum Burgenland from 1972 to 1975 revealed silver coins, ceramics, a glass bead and large quantities of iron slag and roasted ore. Several dome stoves of the "deep Burgenland racing furnace " type were uncovered, one of which is on display in the Landesmuseum. The finds are in the last decades BC. To date. A Roman tombstone comes from a later period .

The 1197 by Dominik Bors , the Banus of Slavonia , due to a vow at a crusade founded Cistercian Abbey Marie Berg was a daughter house of Heiligenkreuz from the Filiation of Mori moon . It was damaged for the first time around 1240 and again around 1440. In 1532 it was destroyed during the Turkish invasions and soon after it was abandoned by the monks. The abbey was subsequently used as a quarry.

In 1680 the Marienberg monastery was rebuilt by Cistercian monks from Lilienfeld on behalf of Abbot Matthäus Kolweiß and was a provost's office until 1865; up to three confreres were stationed there. The parish church of Klostermarienberg and the provost's office were rebuilt between 1741 and 1780, with the remains of the medieval building in the cloister . The parish is still looked after by the Lilienfeld Abbey. The pastor has the official title of superior.

On March 29, 1945, the Red Army in the Klostermarienberg area penetrated Austrian territory (then German Reich territory) for the first time.

The village of Klostermarienberg is also known for its fruit growing. There are extensive apple and peach plantations around the place . Every year there is a chestnut festival on October 26th, the Austrian national holiday .

  • The chestnut festival attracts numerous visitors every year

  • The roasted sweet chestnuts are the focus

  • Folk music provides the framework program
