history
In a document from Pope Urban III. Mogersdorf is mentioned for the first time in 1187 as the grangie of the Cistercian monastery of St. Gotthard , namely as "Nagyfalu".
On August 1, 1664, Count Raimund von Montecuccoli defeated a Turkish army under Achmed Köprülü in the battle of Mogersdorf , thus ending the Turkish war of 1663/1664 . With around 50,000 men, the Turkish army was twice as large as the army of defenders, and victory could only be achieved through the superior tactics of Montecuccoli. The battle caused heavy losses on both sides, but it succeeded in preventing the Turks from marching on to Vienna until the second Turkish siege .
On May 1, 1873, the Hungarian Western Railway , today the Styrian Eastern Railway , was opened from Győr ( Raab ) to Graz .
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 Nagyfalva 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 1964 Mogersdorf was raised to a market town.
