history

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 Gyepűfüzes 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 ).

During the Second World War , Kohfidisch was the scene of fierce fighting between units of the German Wehrmacht and the Red Army . On April 6, there was even violent hand-to-hand fighting in Kohfid Castle after units of the Soviet 26th Army had managed to break into the town. The German 1st Mountain Division was able to repel the attack and even include the Csaterberg again in the defense line for a few days. After the retreat of the German units in the night of April 11th to April 12th in the direction of Lafnitztal, Kohfidisch was finally occupied and part of the Soviet rearland, while fighting on the Styrian border continued until the German surrender.

Kohfidisch has been a market town since 1982 (by VO 81, 7/1982).
