history

Place name

The name of the village is derived from "Sarach", which means something like swamp with reeds. This meant the village whose surroundings are rich in reeds. It was mentioned in a document as early as 1044.

The parish church

The church was built in the 18th century. It houses the high altar by the Italian sculptor Canova . The altar was brought here from the Augustinian Church in Vienna in 1875 . Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Sissi got married in front of this altar.

The crest

The coat of arms of Sarasdorf shows a river and three elms above it. The golden background of the coat of arms stands for cultivated land - for fields, gardens, agriculture and viticulture. The river is a symbol of the Leitha and the former swampy area around the river. The three elms (Rusten) commemorate the important event in the Sarasdorf KG area: the meeting of three monarchs on July 16, 1515.

The meeting of three monarchs

King Sigismund of Poland , Emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg and King Ladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary took part in the meeting of the three monarchs . A week later, important treaties were signed by these three rulers in Vienna. The Habsburgs inherited the land of Bohemia and Hungary on the basis of the treaties in 1526. To commemorate this meeting, three rusts (= elms) were planted at the place of the meeting. Even today a small park with a memorial stone reminds of the exact place of the meeting.
