history
The town and castle Marchegg was built in 1260 by King Přemysl Ottokar II of Bohemia , who ruled Austria at the time, and the Bishop of Olomouc Bruno von Schauenburg , as a town on the border with the Kingdom of Hungary . It is about a founding city, which was created according to medieval planning principles by means of an axilla. The location and orientation of the parish church, which is linked to the geometry of the city, is remarkable. The nave was oriented towards the rising sun on Maundy Thursday and the choir on Easter Sunday, so that the longitudinal axis of the church has a slight bend .
In the early 1970s, Austria acted as a transit country for emigrating Jewish Soviet citizens . The emigrant trains reached Austria at the Marchegg border station. The first terrorist act by Palestinians in Austria took place here on September 28, 1973. Four hostages (three emigrants and an Austrian customs officer) were kidnapped from a train with Jewish emigrants and taken to Vienna Airport. The terrorists were flown out on September 29, 1973 after the federal government had given assurances that the transit camp in Schloss Schönau would be closed . ( See: Hostage-taking in Marchegg )
