history
Around 1180 the place is called Ekkartsovve . Today's large community Eckartsau was created in 1971 from the two market communities Eckartsau and Witzelsdorf and the three village communities of Kopfstetten, Pframa and Wagram on the Danube. Wagram on the Danube, formerly Croatian Wagram as opposed to Deutsch-Wagram , was created by Croatian colonization after the Turkish invasion of 1529. The pilgrimage site of Kopfstetten was first mentioned in 1233 as Chopstetten . Pframa was first documented as Fruhmanaha in 1025 and is therefore one of the oldest towns in Marchfeld. Witzelsdorf was probably known as Wizilinesdorf as early as 1083.
From the Marchegger Ostbahn , today as once part of one of the railway connections Vienna - Pressburg , a winged railway branched off for a long time at Siebenbrunn - Leopoldsdorf station to Engelhartstetten , which had a station in Kopfstetten. From here, Emperor Karl I , coming from Eckartsau Castle , left in March 1919 with the Imperial and Royal Court Train for exile in Switzerland.
