history

→ Main article : Mannersdorf burial ground

Around 1980, over 90 graves from the Latène period were excavated and scientifically examined in the corridor "Reinthal Süd" . The grave goods consisted partly of silver, gold and coral, a bronze situla is seen as an imported piece from northern Italy. The finds document trade relations that stretched from the central Rhine and Champagne to south-eastern Europe and northern Italy .

In ancient times the area was part of the province of Pannonia . The Huns skulls of Mannersdorf will be considered evidence for the presence of Huns in the 5th century. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1233. In 1786, the well-known bath in Mannersdorf, which had existed until then, was dissolved by a decree by Emperor Joseph II . The bath was very popular in the middle of the 18th century and was even visited by Empress Maria Theresa . In 1750, Joseph Haydn probably met the already established composer Christoph Willibald Gluck in Mannersdorf , who is said to have encouraged his young colleague in his musical mission.

The area of ​​the St. Anna monastery in the desert is located in the municipality and has been a nature park since 1986. The 106-hectare monastery area is surrounded by a 4.5 km long wall, some of which can still be seen. The Discalced Carmelite Monastery, which was abandoned by Emperor Joseph II in 1783 , was founded by Eleonora of Mantua in 1644 , burned down by the Turks in 1683 and later rebuilt. The meanwhile restored church and an outbuilding have been preserved. The monk cells have fallen into disrepair. Based on an engraving by LM Lerch from 1689, the structures of the monastery are clearly visible. In the center of the complex, which is located in a wide clearing and can be reached via an avenue of lime trees, is the monastery church. Twenty monk cells are grouped on three sides. These each consisted of a room with a garden and a window to the outside. The common rooms are on the fourth side. Attached to the monastery were seven hermitages , a farm, orchards, a fish pond, as well as three quarries and lime kilns . The cloister gate with a mighty archway, the Leopold's chapel and the porter's house are also clearly recognizable.

The history of the last centuries is still closely linked to the lime mining in the Leithagebirge, so the lime was burned in the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century. The stone was also often used in Vienna for the construction of the Ringstrasse . In 1894 the Mannersdorfer cement factory, which still exists today, was founded, in which the lime has been processed into cement until now.

City arms

The coat of arms shows a leaf cone and a heraldic rose in a divided shield . The crown of leaves refers to the sovereign rule and the frequent presence of Empress Maria Theresa . In the middle, the shield is divided by a counter-step ledge, which corresponds to the cartographic representation of a quarry, which are of great economic importance for the community. The rose symbolizes the desert nature park on the one hand and serves as a reminiscence of the old market seal that contained a flower on the other. The three wave bars refer to the Mannersdorfer thermal spring. The colors red, yellow and blue contain the colors of Burgenland (red and yellow) and Lower Austria (yellow and blue), which expresses Mannersdorf's location on the state border.

Heraldically the coat of arms is described as follows:

In a shield divided by a gold counter-step bar above a golden crown of leaves in red, below in blue over three golden wavy bars in the base of the shield a golden heraldic rose.
