history

A burial ground in the Sieggrabener Bahnwald , which was first mentioned in 1893 by the Hungarian high school teacher and local researcher Lajos Bella from Sopron and was last examined in the summer of 1980, testifies to a settlement in the Bronze Age . In Celtic times the area was part of the Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg . In the Roman Empire the area was part of the province of Pannonia . According to the analysis of archaeological finds, the earliest medieval traces of life in Sieggraben go back to the Carolingian period .

The place was first mentioned in 1302 as "Sykrems". It is believed that the place got its name from the stream that flows through the village. In the boundary description of Weppersdorf this brook is mentioned as “Sykrin Potok” (also “Sikrynpotok” and “Scikryn Potok”). The earliest documented evidence of this brook goes back to the year 1222. Subsequently, the spellings “Sigrabn” (1570), “Siggraben” (1641), “Sigroben” (1651), “Szigraben” (1675), “Sigraben” (1682) “Siegraben” (1713) are used for the place names as well as "Siggraben" (1713). The later Magyar name form was Szikra until 1921 .

The Sieggraben area (bottom left) and the Brennberg mine west of Ödenburg, around 1880 (recording sheet of the state survey )

Sieggraben belonged to the Counts of Mattersdorf-Forchtenstein , later to the Forchtenstein lordship , to the Kobersdorf lordship and finally in 1622 fell into the possession of the Prince of Esterházy . In the manorial arable 16th and 17th centuries, mostly small farmers listed for Sieggraben. In the land register of the County of Forchtenstein from 1675, a school, a community inn and two stone mills are identified for Sieggraben. In the middle of the 17th century the population of Sieggraben was mixed denominationally (Catholic and Protestant), in 1659 the majority was Protestant before it became Catholic around 1660. In 1736 Sieggraben was raised to an independent parish. In the course of the redistribution of the lords of the Prince of Esterházy in 1738, the place came under the rule of Kobersdorf. A fire in 1775 destroyed 30 houses. In 1848 the Hungarian counties were divided into chair districts, whereby the place was allocated to Ödenburg . Another change in the districts in 1870/71 resulted in the Mattersburg district , to which Sieggraben has belonged ever since.

In 1921 the place - like all of today's Burgenland - came to Austria due to the treaties of St. Germain and Trianon from 1919 . Because of the exposed location of the place south of the Sieggrabener Sattel, the Nazi rulers came up with a plan in 1938 to assign Sieggraben to the political district of Oberpullendorf from an administrative point of view. After protests by the local residents of Sieggraben, who asserted that the community was sensibly oriented towards Mattersburg from time immemorial, tended there also in terms of fruit export and the flow of labor and from there also had a convenient rail connection to Vienna, the plan was made dropped. Even after the Second World War , Sieggraben remained a distinct commuter community: in 1951, around 90 weekly commuters from Sieggraben - with a population of 1276 people - commuted to Vienna every Monday.

coat of arms

Blazon : Three green firs growing in a silver shield on a green three-hill covered with a silver paddle wheel, the middle one with five branch heights (four whorls and tops ), the two lateral (smaller) with four branch heights (three whorls and tops). The symbols used in the community seal since the 17th century (three fir trees growing out of a mountain of three) are reminiscent of the logging that has been relevant for centuries in the economic life of the community and of the charcoal-burning operation that has existed in the village since ancient times. The paddle wheel (mill wheel) is a talking symbol, it refers to the southern district of Mühlviertel. In a figurative sense, the mill wheel can also be understood as a symbol for the commercial economy established in the area. The right to use this coat of arms was granted on September 14, 1983 by the Burgenland state government.

• Engelbert Dollfuß (1892–1934) - Austrian politician, founder of the Austro-Fascist corporate state

On the way to becoming an authoritarian corporate state , the Patriotic Front endeavored in the course of political disputes to establish Chancellor Dollfuss as the great Austrian leader. One of the ways to achieve this goal was to make him an honorary citizen in as many Austrian municipalities as possible. In Sieggraben, Dollfuss was awarded honorary citizenship on May 6, 1934, shortly before his murder on July 25, 1934.

After the municipality of Ampass in Tyrol granted him honorary citizenship on December 6, 1931, a further 1602 Austrian municipalities, including Sieggraben, followed this example until Austria was annexed to Hitler's Germany in 1938.

Individual evidence

1. ↑ Of the originally around 30 hills in the Sieggraben burial ground from the Bronze Age burial mounds, only 14 flat elevations remain. By the 1930s, the hills had been increasingly leveled as the forest in which they were located was turned into arable land. The route of the Burgenland expressway S31 was laid through the former burial ground from 1980 to 1984 . To mark the occasion, a few mounds were examined in 1980, and body and cremations were found.
