history

Loipersbach (center), around 1880 (recording sheet of the regional survey )

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 Loipersbach was then in the province of Pannonia .

In 1225, Loipersbach was first mentioned in a document by Andreas II (Hungary) under the name “Lupoltsbach im Wald”.

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 Lépesfalva 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 state of Burgenland since 1921.
