history

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 Lackenbach was then in the province of Pannonia .

A fort was built in Lackenbach between 1548 and 1552. After 1670/71 Jews expelled from Vienna settled here.

Since the 18th century Lackenbach belonged to the Princely Esterházy 's seven communities with largely autonomous inner-Jewish administration. In 1869 770 Jews lived here - 62% of the population. In the 20th century their numbers decreased; In 1934 there were still 346 Jews in the community.

After the Anschluss in 1938, the Lackenbach Jews were brought to Vienna in trucks, and the synagogue was blown up in 1942 . The Jewish cemetery has been preserved to this day and has over 1,700 tombstones . Here is the grave of Markus Mordechai Schey, Arthur Schnitzler 's maternal grandfather , and Philip Baron Schey von Koromla (born September 20, 1798 in Güns ; † June 26, 1881 in Baden near Vienna ), among others the founder of the Güns synagogue , who on March 3, 1859 was the first Hungarian Jew to be raised to the Austrian nobility (as Edler von Koromla).

The place belonged, like the whole of Burgenland, to Hungary (German-West Hungary) until 1920/21 . Since 1898 had due to the Magyarization of the government in Budapest of Hungarian name Lakompak 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 1940 the " Gypsy detention camp Lackenbach " was built on a former Esterházy farm in the municipality . The camp inmates, mostly Burgenland Roma , had to do forced labor here and from 1943 onwards some of them were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and murdered there. At the end of March 1945, when the Soviet army approached, the camp administration resigned , so that there were no death marches with many victims .

On November 7, 2012 Lackenbach was raised to a market town.
