Pinkafeld ( Hungarian : Pinkafő, Croatian : Pinkafelj, Romani : Pinkafa) is a municipality with 5924 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in Burgenland in the Oberwart district ( Austria ). It is named after the Pinka , a tributary of the Raab .

The first written mention probably comes from the year 860. During the following 1000 years Pinkafeld was most of the time in the Kingdom of Hungary . Nevertheless, as in most of the former German West Hungary (today Burgenland ), the population has been predominantly German-speaking since the time of Charlemagne . Historically, Pinkafeld is a city of craftsmen and citizens . As early as the late Middle Ages, the city ​​acquired numerous privileges such as blood jurisdiction , market and toll rights and freedom from customs duties . In the further course of history, the Pinkafelder citizens were always very interested in receiving these privileges. And indeed, the Pinkafelder privileges have been confirmed and expanded again and again by many emperors, kings and regional rulers. From the 17th century to the early 20th century, the city was shaped by the textile industry .

With the establishment of the HTBLuVA Pinkafeld on the site of the former manorial Meierhof , Pinkafeld took an important step towards becoming a school and university of applied sciences town in 1967 . As such, it has since achieved national importance and notoriety, particularly because of the training opportunities in the field of technology. Since 2002 Pinkafeld has been one of the 25  climate protection communities in Burgenland.

geography

Geographical location

Pinkafeld is located in the northwest of southern Burgenland on the Styrian border, only a few kilometers from the triangle of Lower Austria - Styria - Burgenland in the Pinkatal on the foothills of the transition area (Bernsteiner Bergland in the northeast, Bucklige Welt in the northwest, Joglland in the west) that seamlessly flows into the south the southern Burgenland hill country passes over. The landscape is dominated by gentle hills and, in large areas, by the changeable massif. In the west, the SOS Children's Village and Gfangen and in the northeast, Hochart, are on hills above the city.

The city is drained via the Pinka . The Pinka is a tributary of the Raab , which crosses the city from north to south.

Land use

The total area of ​​the city is divided as follows:

More than half of the Pinkafeld area is covered by forest. 31.35% of the area is used for agriculture. The remaining areas are divided into 0.94% water areas, 1.56% building areas, 5.53% gardens and 7.74% other areas.

City structure

Overview map

The municipality includes the following two localities (population in brackets as of January 1, 2020):

  • High Style (343)

Hochart and Pinkafeld were merged in 1970 due to the Burgenland Municipal Structure Improvement Act to form the municipality of Pinkafeld. In 2001 Hochart had 341 residents.

Neighboring communities

To the north, the city borders on Styria in the Pinggau district of Sinnersdorf . After Sinnersdorf (which, although it belongs to Styria, is looked after by post and church from Pinkafeld) follows the local area of ​​the Styrian neighboring town of Pinggau and then Friedberg. The community of Riedlingsdorf, with which Pinkafeld has already grown together, is directly adjacent to the south. A state road leads west over the Richtberg to Grafenschachen and from there on to Loipersdorf-Kitzladen. The eastern and southeastern neighbors Wiesfleck and Oberschützen can also be reached by road over hilly elevations. For many neighbors, Pinkafeld is a shopping location and a destination for local visits. The greatest cohesion with the neighboring communities is given by the Pinkafelder schools, in whose catchment area all neighboring communities are located.

geology

Pinkafeld is located in the area of ​​the tertiary bay of Friedberg-Pinkafeld, a peripheral bay of the Styrian Basin. To the east, the Pinkafelder Bay merges into the Tertiary Depression between Günser Bergland and the Eisenberg region. The basement is characterized by strong roof or shed construction. The Tertiary filling of the Styrian Basin rests on top of it: the younger marine layers of Baden , Sarmat and Pannon lie on top of the continental formations of the Sinnersdorf strata ( ? Karpat ) in the north . Quaternary layers form the end . In the area of ​​the Baden and Sarmat strata in Pinkafeld, deep groundwater was developed through artesian house wells.

The Sinnersdorf layer consists of conglomerates and gravel . The proportion of Sinnersdorf conglomerates is relatively low. Conglomerated, poorly sorted torrent and moor sediments (see sediments ) with decimeter to meter-sized components from the coarse gneiss and alternating series, mostly only with rounded edges, are more common. Apart from indeterminable plant remains, the Sinnersdorf stratum does not contain any fossils . The younger deposits differ from the Sinnersdorf stratum with its conglomerates and gravel by their wealth of gneiss and mica schist .

In bathing there are mainly clastic sediments such as coarse sand, gravel , gravel, silt , fine sand and reef limestone, with sands (often scree ) predominating. The most lying is the series of the diving and writing village coal seams . Above ( hanging ) there are quartz sand with rubble without fossils. Bathing is characterized by an increase in the epidote among the heavy minerals . The thickness of the bathing in Pinkafeld is assumed to be around 200 meters.

The Sarmat consists exclusively of clastic sediments (silt, fine sand, coarse sand, gravel, crushed stone). A further increase in the epidote under the heavy minerals can be observed. There are few fossil finds in Baden and Sarmat. The thickness of the Sarmat near Pinkafeld, like that of Baden, is assumed to be around 200 meters.

In the Pannonian near Pinkafeld mainly fine-clastic sediments (silt) can be found. Only at the base are there conglomerates. From west to east light, rarely green marls move with regular fossil recordings, which clearly distinguish the Pannonian strata from those of Sarmat and Baden. The thickness of the Pannon should not exceed 50 meters here. The clayey-silty sediments of the Pannon are used in Pinkafeld to make bricks.

Quaternary terrace gravel covers the ridge west of Pinkafeld. It consists of up to 25 centimeters large, partly well-rounded quartz and quartzite chunks in a sandy matrix .

climate

The climate can be assigned to the relatively warm Illyrian climate type. Against Atlantic influences the area is by the central Alps shielded. Pinkafeld and the surrounding area are among the most thunderstorm zones in Austria. The mean annual precipitation is around 800 to 900 millimeters. The average number of days with snow cover is around 70, the average largest amounts of fresh snow between 30 and 50 centimeters. The true January mean temperatures are between –2 ° C and –5 ° C, those in July around 18 ° C to 20 ° C.

history

Main article: History of Pinkafeld

Prehistory, antiquity and the Middle Ages

Barrows from Roman times in the city park
Excerpt from the document of King Ludwig the German from 860: “item ad Peinicahu”.
Pinkafelder pillory : symbol of high jurisdiction

The oldest finds date from the Neolithic Age and are 6000 years old. At the time of the Celts there was a settlement in the area of ​​today's Pinkafeld train station. In Roman times the area of ​​today's Burgenland was part of the province of Pannonia .

From the 6th century to the 8th century, the area was ruled by the Avars . After Charlemagne's campaigns against the Avars between 791 and 803, Pinkafeld became part of the Franconian Empire and, after the Treaty of Verdun of 843, belonged to the East Franconian Empire . At this time in the eastern part of Bavaria there was intensive German settlement. The city was probably mentioned for the first time in a document from the year 860. The document attests to a donation of the estate "ad Peinicahu" by the Carolingian king Ludwig the German to the Salzburg Archbishop Adalwin (Adaluuinus). It has not been proven that the property mentioned is an area in today's Pinkafeld.

Around 900 the Magyars took possession of the area. At that time the area of ​​today's Pinkafeld was in no man's land ( Gyepűelve ) between Hungary and the Styrian border. After that, Pinkafeld belonged mainly to the Kingdom of Hungary for over a thousand years . In the battle on the Lechfeld (955) the Hungarians were defeated, who then retreated behind the Lafnitz . Pinkafeld remained Hungarian.

From the 13th century the settlement belonged to the Güssing counts . In the course of the Güssing feud (1289/90) Pinkafeld fell to the Habsburgs . After the settlement was destroyed during the Güssing feud in 1289, it became part of the Bernstein rule from 1291 . In 1327 there was the battle of Güns between King Robert of Anjou and the Güssing counts. Pinkafeld came back under the administration of the Hungarian crown. Promoted by King Ludwig the Great of Hungary , the city achieved independence from Bernstein in important areas (for example an independent high and low jurisdiction ).

The time in the House of Austria 1463–1644

Emperor Friedrich III. von Habsburg received the village Pinkafeld as a pledge in 1445 . The emperor confirmed and extended the privileges of the city. In 1459 troops of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus attacked the Habsburg emperor on Lamplfeld in the south of today's city and forced him to retreat from Pinkafeld. In 1463 the place belonged again to the Habsburgs and remained with the House of Austria for almost 200 years. In 1517 the Königsbergers received the rule of Pinkafeld. When withdrawing from the first Turkish siege of Vienna , Turkish troops attacked the settlement. After the siege of Güns in 1532, the troops of Sultan Suleyman I. Pinkafeld completely destroyed.

The time in the Kingdom of Hungary 1644–1918

Over 250 years of rule in Pinkafeld: Coat of arms of the Batthyány family on the Marian column

Towards the end of the Thirty Years' War the village came back to Hungary. Ádám Batthyány bought amber from the Königsbergers in 1644. In 1669 the Bernstein rule was divided into the Bernstein (Christoph Batthyány) and Pinkafeld rule under Paul Batthyány. The Batthyány Castle became the center of the rule. From 1674 Pinkafeld was administered by Count Ladislaus Csáky. After Csáky, the administration of the Pinkafeld dominion passed to Christoph Batthyány.

In 1664 Turkish troops tried to plunder the town. There was a slaughter with Pinkafelder troops. The Turkish attackers were able to flee. After the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna , Styrian troops attacked the city in revenge on the Batthyány, who had paid homage to the Turks for tactical reasons.

In 1688 and 1699 witch trials took place before the Pinkafelder high court , which led to the execution of the accused. In 1698 there was another division of the Batthyányschen dominions. Pinkafeld fell to Sigismund Batthyány. In the course of the Kuruzzen incursions in 1704 and 1708/09, Pinkafeld was also plundered. In 1717 Sigismund Batthyány died and the Pinkafeld rule was reunited. In 1804 Croatian soldiers brought cholera , which cost the lives of many Pinka fields. A few hundred French marched through the town in the course of the coalition wars from 1806 to 1809 .

In the course of the 17th century, the guild of cloth makers was numerically predominant in Pinkafeld . The first half of the 18th century was characterized by disputes over privileges with the Batthyány. The economy was on the up. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city fell victim to a series of fires. In 1871 the volunteer fire brigade was founded in Pinkafeld. It is the oldest volunteer fire brigade in today's Burgenland.

As a result of the revolution of 1848/49 there was the so-called peasant liberation and basic relief, which also brought the Batthyány lordship in Pinkafeld to an end. The Batthyány became large landowners and their former subjects became free citizens. But the revolution also brought about the end of the Pinkafeld blood jurisdiction and the gradual loss of the privileges of the privileged Pinkafeld market.

In the last third of the 19th century, Pinkafeld changed from handicraft to industry. Since the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 Pinkafeld belonged to the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . In 1888 the local railway Steinamanger –Altpinkafeld ( Pinkatalbahn ) was put into operation. From the end of the 19th century until the First World War , numerous people emigrated from Burgenland to America , mainly for economic reasons . By 1914 this was around 30,000 Burgenlanders. The majority of the Pinkafelder emigrants went to Chicago . The First World War brought hardship and suffering to the population and a brief boom for the Pinkafelder textile industry as a result of orders from the military.

In 1921, Emperor Karl I stayed at the former Hotel Lehner

Hungarian Soviet Republic

During the short period of the Hungarian Soviet Republic under Béla Kun from April to July 1919, communalization took place in Pinkafeld , which was later reversed.

The last Austrian emperor in Pinkafeld

The former emperor of Austria, Karl I . tried to take power as king in Hungary in 1921. On Holy Saturday 1921 he stopped at the former Hotel Lehner incognito on his way to Budapest. Since the car broke down to continue the journey, the former emperor and his entourage took the hotel's wage carriage to drive towards Budapest. This first attempt by Charles to take power in Hungary again failed, as did another attempt in October of the same year.

1920 until the end of the Second World War

Since the two peace treaties of St. Germain and Trianon came into force in 1920, Pinkafeld has legally belonged to Austria and a thousand-year long membership of the Kingdom of Hungary came to an end. In 1921 there was fighting between Hungarian nationalist militant groups and the Austrian gendarmerie in Pinkafeld . In December 1921, Burgenland and with it Pinkafeld were finally handed over to the Republic of Austria. However, the connection to Austria also led to economic problems for the city, as the sales markets in the east were lost.

In 1924 the Pinkafeld estate was sold. In 1925, the railway connection between Altpinkafeld and Friedberg was opened as an extension of the Steinamanger - Altpinkafeld local railway . With the integration into the Austrian railway network and the establishment of further textile factories, the Pinkafelder economy recovered. In 1925 the city applied unsuccessfully as the capital of Burgenland. The Great Depression in the 1930s also stopped the Pinkafelder economic boom. In 1937 Pinkafeld was promoted to town .

With the annexation of Austria to the National Socialist German Reich , Pinkafeld came to the Reichsgau Steiermark . During the Second World War , Altpinkafeld station was the target of Allied fighter-bomber attacks several times . On April 5, 1945, Soviet troops marched into Pinkafeld. In May 1945 the Second World War ended. Out of gratitude, the city's residents vowed to pray the Stations of the Cross on the first Sunday in April every year. The day is called Russian Sunday in Pinkafeld.

Post-war to the present

From 1945 to 1955 Pinkafeld was in the Soviet occupation zone . In 1956 the city tried in vain to set up a commercial college. In 1960 the SOS Children's Village Pinkafeld was founded on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the municipality . In 1993 the SOS youth center was opened. In 1965 the Pinkafelder Eisteich started operations. The European textile crisis led to the closure of two large textile factories in 1966. A milestone on the way to becoming a school town is the establishment of the HTBL Pinkafeld in 1967. In 1970, Hochart was incorporated into the Pinkafeld community. In 1972 the secondary school, indoor swimming pool and the martini hall were opened. The Pinkafelder university of applied sciences courses have existed since 1992.

A total solar eclipse was observed in Austria on August 11, 1999 . Pinkafeld was exactly on the central line of the totality zone and was therefore visited by many interested parties that day. The total duration here was about 2 minutes and 20 seconds. The weather was favorable for observing the darkness.

In 2002 Pinkafeld joined the Climate Alliance and won a gold medal at the European flower decoration competition Entente Florale Europe in the city ​​category . Also in 2002, the Christmas tree for one of Austria's most famous Christmas markets on Vienna's Rathausplatz came from Pinkafeld. The Pinkafelder spruce was erected on Vienna's Rathausplatz as part of a ceremony. The ceremony was accompanied musically by the Pinkafeld city band and the Vienna Guard Music .

Settlement history

From the 9th century, settlement cells can be found in the area of ​​today's Catholic Church. In the High Middle Ages , a market settlement with small town shapes followed. Another part of the settlement was along the Mühlkanal in the area between Hauptstraße and Pinkaarm. The market square (today the main square) is said to have been a distorted rectangular square in the Middle Ages and two thirds of it was built up in the late Middle Ages . In modern times , the settlement was expanded to the south with the focus on Batthyány Castle.

population

Population development

Around 1920, before the former German West Hungary came to Austria as Burgenland, the proportion of the Hungarian ethnic group in Pinkafeld was around 12%. In the 2002 census , 94.9% of the population stated German as a colloquial language . 1.6% named Croatian as a colloquial language, 1.0% Hungarian . 93.3% of the people living in Pinkafeld are Austrians .

The Hanseatic dialect, which is widespread in Burgenland and Eastern Styria, is spoken in Pinkafeld and has developed differently in different localities. For example, the dialect of the residents of the Hochart district, which is spatially separated from Pinkafeld, is distinguishable from that of the Pinkafeld (at least for locals). The Hocharter dialect is more strongly influenced by the Styrian dialect than the Pinkafelder. The dialect cultivated in Pinkafeld does not know the characteristic “ui”. The typical (and possibly name-giving) Hanseatic word “hiaz” for “now” is also common in Pinkafeld.

Population development

The first indications of the size of the population in Pinkafeld come from the 16th century. The complete destruction of the settlement by Turkish troops is known from 1532. After that, the place recovered relatively quickly. According to a land register of the Bernstein rule from 1569, there were over 80 houses in Pinkafeld at that time. The number of inhabitants increased afterwards due to the construction of court statehouses and commercial operations. The increase slowed at the beginning of the modern era due to restrictions on the guild industry. Larger population increases did not occur again until the guild obligation was lifted.

Exact population numbers are only known from 1697. In the 183 years from 1697 to 1880, the population increased from around 1500 to 3080 people. Between 1880 and 1910 the population remained almost constant at around 3000 inhabitants. They began to emigrate overseas in the late 19th century. From 1916 to 1925 there was a decrease of approximately 300 people due to the effects of World War I. Part of this is due to emigration (especially to America).

The population growth in Pinkafeld has been greater since the 1920s than the average for the Oberwart district and the federal state of Burgenland. After the annexation of Burgenland to Austria (1921) the population increased again. After that, the population remained fairly constant at around 3800 people until the early 1950s. A strong population increase took place in the 1950s and 1960s ( baby boomer phase). In the 1960s the Pillenkink became apparent in the development of the Pinkafelder population . Since 1971, the gain due to immigration has been greater than the loss due to the negative birth balance. At the end of 2008 the population in Pinkafeld was 5386 people.

Population structure

In the 2001 census, the proportion of residents who were 60 years of age and older was 22.4%; 18.0% were under 15 years old. The proportion of the female population was 52.9%. Of the 4,246 residents of Pinkafeld, who were over 15 years old in 2001, 4.7% had graduated from a university , technical college or academy . A further 22.0% had a high school diploma , 42.9% had completed an apprenticeship or a vocational middle school and 38.2% of all Pinkafel fields had compulsory school as the highest qualification.

religion

Religious Affiliation (2002)

The Roman Catholic faith community are attributable to 75.0%, Protestant are 18.6% without commitment 3.1%, for Islam is 1.6% profess.

The Franciscan Community has been based on the Pinkafelder Kalvarienberg since 1981 . The founding members decided to set up a community based on the example of Francis of Assisi and Charles de Foucauld and left their professions. They sold their apartments and invested all of their money in the new community. The Franziskusgemeinschaft sees itself as a community of life, goods and work with the goals of a simple life, spiritual depth, help for the poor and the preservation of creation in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. The order-like community is recognized by the bishop. In 2007 it had 15 members (some families, some individuals).

The Pinkafelder Herz-Jesu- Verein was founded in 1832, to which a total of 19,710 members belonged in 1877. The brotherhood book of the Herz-Jesu-Verein is now in the church museum. The last entry in the book was made in 1877.

It was the first museum to be founded in the Austrian state of Burgenland, which was newly created in 1921. The museum contained, among other things, valuable finds from Roman times. In the post-war years, the showrooms in the through-house were closed and a lot of collectibles were lost. The through house in the city center still exists today.
  • Rindsmaullsche Gutshaus ("Old Town Hall"): The oldest, still preserved building in Pinkafeld is the Rindsmaullsche Gutshaus, which was built at the beginning of the 17th century and from 1629 was owned by the Rindsmaull family, originally from Tyrol. In 1728 the Pinkafeld community acquired the house and used it as the town hall until 1954. In addition, the district court with jurisdiction over Pinkafeld, Sinnersdorf , Ober- and Unterwald farmers was housed in the old manor house . The jurisdiction was lost after 1848. In 1830 the last judgment was made in the Rindsmaullschen manor house. The pillory from the 17th century can still be seen in front of the house as a symbol of jurisdiction .
The Marian column, first mentioned in 1757

From 1954 the house was used for residential purposes, later as a municipal kindergarten; in the basement were the facilities of the local freezing community. Since 1989, after the kindergarten was moved to the newly constructed building, the Pinkafelder City Museum has been located in the building .

Buildings

A total of 22 objects on Pinkafelder municipal area are protected by the Federal Monuments Office under monument protection provided. This means that Batthyány Castle , the two parish churches, the Marian Column, the war memorial and some chapels are subject to the special protection provisions of the Austrian Monument Protection Act . The state of Burgenland, the municipality of Pinkafeld and the Catholic and Protestant Church are the owners of the listed objects.

  • Marian column : The column wasfirst mentionedin the canonical visitation in 1757. Historians assume that it was built out of gratitude for the final defense against the Turks, who destroyed Pinkafeld in 1532 and raided it later. Zacharias Werner , who was often a guest of the Batthyány, wrote the following sayingfor the Marian column (also popularly known as the “women's column”) in the center of the city:

Onefleckt Receive, to be highly praised,
silent outer, inner flames raging,
gracious to all who trust you,
what has been destroyed, help us to rebuild.

  • Batthyány Castle : Batthyány Castle was the center of the Pinkafeld rule and the permanent residence of members of the Batthyány family. The castle was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. The state vocational school Pinkafeld has been housed in the listed castle since 1959.

Churches and chapels

  • The Catholic parish church Pinkafeld hll. Peter and Paul as a late Baroque wall pillar church with a facade tower was rebuilt from 1773, consecrated in 1786, and completed in 1807 after the church, which was built in 1532, offered too little space. To the north of the church is a stone cross from 1825, which reminds of the former cemetery that was around the church until 1779.
  • The Evangelical Parish Church Pinkafeld was completed in 1785. Its brick tower was built in 1822. Emperor Joseph II granted the Protestants the right to build their own houses of worship, but they were not allowed to have a tower, the entrance had to be averted from the town center and not be directly on the street. Therefore the church is in a side street, its entrance is not directly on the street and is turned away from the town center.
  • The Monastery of St. Vincent of the Cooperative of the Daughters of Christian Love of St. Vincent de Paul was founded by Countess Franziska Batthyány . It was consecrated on June 24, 1855 by Bishop Michael Haas . It was a hospital and is now used as a nursing home.
  • The Pinkafeld Calvary Church is the oldest existing church in Pinkafeld, the Calvary Church was built around 1748 under Count Ádám II of Batthyány. A hermitage ( hermitage ) is attached to the south side of the church . The Hermitage was built before 1757 with four rooms, a kitchen and a cellar. Initially Augustinian hermits lived in the Hermitage, later hermits of the Raab Hermit Confederation. In 1782 the Hermitage was abolished and the building passed to the Pinkafeld parish - after Emperor Joseph II had all orders that “only prayed” and were not socially, charitable or economically active, dissolved. The Hermitage has been inhabited by the Franciscan Community since 1982. The Way of the Cross to the Kalvarienbergkirche also dates from around 1748.
  • The Pinkafeld cemetery chapel in the middle of the cemetery was donated by Count Nikolaus Batthyány and his wife Franziska. The listed chapel is an early work by the Viennese architect Carl Roesner and is considered a remarkable building of romantic historicism in terms of art history .
  • Josephi Chapel: the baroque Josephi Chapel (popularly known as the “Spatzenkapelle” or “Rosskapelle”) opposite the Alt-Pinkafeld train station was built shortly before 1730 under Count Sigismund von Batthyány in place of an earlier chapel.
  • Turkish Chapel: The Turkish chapel, built by the population in the 18th century, is a reminder of the Turkish wars.
  • Vinzenzkapelle: The Chapel of St. Vincent on Steinamangerstraße dates from 1832.

music

  • Schrammelquartett Pinkafeld: The Schrammelquartett, founded in 1998, is the only originalschrammel quartet in Burgenland. The four musicians maintain the music of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the time of Johann Strauss as authentically as possible. In 2004 the quartet presented their first audio CD .

mayor

Mayor of Pinkafeld is Kurt Maczek (SPÖ). In the direct mayor election on October 6, 2002, he prevailed with 51.03% against the incumbent mayor Tripamer (ÖVP), who had headed the city since 1997 and who had to admit defeat with 48.97%. In the election on October 1, 2017, Maczek won with 61.40% in the first ballot against three competitors. With this, the member of the state parliament Maczek entered his fourth term of office as mayor. Friedrich Luisser (ÖVP), who started in 2012, received 23.68% and thus 7.43 percentage points less than in the last election. Peter Jauschowetz (FPÖ), who had also been a candidate in 2012, came up with 6.80%, Eduard Posch (NEOS) with 8.12%.

In the constituent meeting of the municipal council on October 23, 2017, Franz Rechberger (SPÖ) was elected first vice mayor and Friedrich Luisser (ÖVP) was elected second vice mayor. Since the Burgenland municipal regulations only provide for a second vice mayor for the free cities of Eisenstadt and Rust , disagreements developed about the need for a second vice mayor. While the SPÖ, the Greens and the NEOS voted in favor, the ÖVP and the FPÖ were against and, above all, led to unnecessary costs of 3000 euros annually in meetings. Ultimately, with the ÖVP, the very party that previously voted against benefited.

Martina Stecher is the head of the city office.

coat of arms

The first surviving form of the Pinkafelder city coat of arms comes from a seal stick from 1639. The exact age of this coat of arms is not known.

AUT Pinkafeld COA.jpg

Blazon : “In blue with a silver (white) shield border, a silver (white) tower with a large arched window at the upper end, which is provided with a double onion helmet ; the helmet, which is flanked by two narrow and slightly lower side turrets, has two crosses inclined at an angle to each other , on the right a Greek cross with an additional cock, and on the left a Lorraine cross (with two crossbars). At window height, a silver (white) arm protrudes from the tower on the right, carrying an upright key with a beard turned to the left; in front of the tower a straight silver (white) wall with a gate on the right side, which surrounds the tower in a crescent moon shape to the rear. The Pinkafelder colors are white and blue. "

The exact history of the origin of the coat of arms cannot be traced today. The coat of arms can be associated with the Catholic church building in Pinkafeld and possibly with the Hungarian noble Batthyány family , who ruled the place since the 17th century. The tower of the Marktkirche, which was rebuilt after the old church was destroyed by the Turks in 1532, is described as high and with a double knob. The two crosses, one of which bears a rooster (presumably used as a weathercock ), are also mentioned. It is conceivable that the Pinkafelder colors are the white-blue colors of the Batthyány rule. The representation on the coat of arms is certainly of older origin. The tower in the coat of arms has changed its appearance several times since the coat of arms was created. Once he only wore a simple baroque helmet, later a simple tent roof. Since Pinkafeld's city elevation in 1937, only the coat of arms described above has been used.
