history

The Sacred Heart Church

In the present municipality there was a Slavic settlement in the 8th and 9th centuries.

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1283 as Pruk . After the Mongol invasion in 1241/1242, German residents from Württemberg settled here. Between 1335 and 1373/1374 the village was owned by the Bratislava judge Jakob, after which the counts from St. Georgen and Bösing were landlords until 1543. In a tax register from 1557, the Serédy , Meréy and Farkas families owned a total of 10 portals . Later Bruck was divided between the estates of Eberhardt (three quarters) and St. Georgen (one quarter). Between 1683 and 1720 the village was affected by Turkish invasions and class revolts. In the first half of the 18th century, settlers from Carinthia came to Bruck. In 1828 there were 110 houses and 790 inhabitants who were employed as farmers.

Until 1918, the place in the Somorja chair district within the Pressburg County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. Between 1938 and 1945 Bruck was a border town, as the neighboring town of Eberhardt (today Malinovo) already belonged to the Horthy-Hungary, which was enlarged by the First Vienna Arbitration .

Bruck was a German village until 1945. The German population had to leave the place after the war due to the Beneš decrees , and Slovaks were settled. Among other things, Ludwig Schwarz , who was diocesan bishop of Linz until 2015, had to leave Bruck with his family. Schwarz is very committed to reconciliation between the ethnic groups, and today there are friendly relations between the former German and current Slovak residents of Bruck.

Once a year, a meeting of the former German residents and their descendants takes place in Vienna, the so-called "Bruckertreffen".
