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 Leithaprodersdorf was then in the province of Pannonia . Older finds prove activities at that time. In Roman times, the municipality of Leithaprodersdorf was densely populated. Two large manors and a watchtower ( Burgus ) as well as the associated grave fields with gravestones have been named after excavations since the previous century. The names Maguricius, Ussuro, Ucco, Cenomarus, Gnatila as well as Octo, Aurelia Valla and Aurelia Florentina attest to the Celtic-Roman mixed population of the 1st to 3rd centuries. From the early history of a burial place originates Avars from the 8th century when Anne Cross.

The most important ground monument on the outskirts of Leithaprodersdorf that is still visible today is the G'schlößl , a medieval moated castle consisting of three concentric ditches and ramparts. It was built in the 13th century on the ruins of the Roman watchtower to secure the Leitha crossing. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1232.

The bathing establishment in Leitha-Prodersdorf appeared in the press as early as the 1860s . Even decades after 1900, Bad Prodersdorf (sometimes: Bad Brodersdorf ) was known as a place name. It referred to the springs at today's address Badgasse 49, which were developed as therapeutic and thermal baths and were up to 26 degrees Celsius. The baths, for which the Ebreichsdorf , Weigelsdorf and Unterwaltersdorf stations were named for indirect rail access , was popular as a day trip destination, among other things at Viennese cycling clubs.

The place belonged like the whole of Burgenland to the Kingdom of Hungary ( German-West Hungary ) until 1920/21 , was called Hungarian Prodersdorf , and was an important border crossing to Deutsch Brodersdorf in the Archduchy of Austria and Crown Land Austria under the Enns . Since 1898 had due to the Magyarization of the government in Budapest of Hungarian name Lajtapordány 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 1982 the community celebrated 750 years of its existence, combined with the elevation to the market.

On January 1, 1990, the cadastral communities or localities Loretto and Stotzing , which had previously belonged to the market town of Leithaprodersdorf, were separated, and Leithaprodersdorf was created as a new community.

Today Leithaprodersdorf and Deutsch Brodersdorf have grown together completely into one settlement unit .

Research has shown that Leithaprodersdorf can be described as the oldest named place in Burgenland. The name comes from Lithaha with the preposition super Sconibrunno , in German above the beautiful fountain from the year 833.
