history

Even the Romans left traces in the area around Stixneusiedl. In 1816, for example, the remains of a Mithras sanctuary were found near the village . Stixneusiedl was on a Roman reserve road that led from Vösendorf via Himberg and Schwadorf to the east.

The first parish church of Stixneusiedl was probably built in the 15th century.

In 1683 the Turks caused great damage to the village. The entire village was burned down, as was the neighboring village of Hängeszagl near Gallbrunn, which, however, was no longer built and thus remained a deserted town. The cattle and the harvest were taken from the farmers. Those who resisted were murdered or abducted. Most of the residents had survived thanks to the refuge in the Trautmannsdorf fortress. In order to preserve the right of refuge, the residents were contractually obliged to do three days of robots for the castle as early as 1501 . All the houses were still tax-free 10 years after the Turkish invasion because of the damage they had suffered. The parish church, which was in ruins without a roof or window panes, was restored after the Turkish destruction. In 1783, when Stixneusiedl became an independent parish, it was in any case dilapidated and too small. In addition, it was difficult to reach because the church is on a mountain and there were no church stairs at that time. In 1852 the organ was bought. It came from an organ builder in Neutitschein in North Moravia. The church was renovated several times in the 19th and 20th centuries, so it got a new roof in 2013.

During the First World War there was a shortage of food in the village, and these were also extremely expensive. The price of pork had quintupled. 60 refugees from the area around Gorizia were housed in Stixneusiedl and 30 captured Russians had to do field work in the village. 150 men from Stixneusiedl had to serve as soldiers. In 1917 20 had fallen and another 20 were captured. In the same year two of the church bells were brought to the arsenal in Vienna and melted down for cannons. When there was famine in Vienna due to the war in 1918, over 30 people came to Stixneusiedl every day to buy food, hamster or beg. Towards the end of the war there was no laundry, fabrics or shoes to buy.

In 1918, inflation caused almost all of the money to lose its value, causing a kilo of lard to suddenly cost 100 crowns. In 1922 there were already 1,000.

In 1965 the bypass of the B10 was cleared and the town was noticeably relieved.

In 1972 Stixneusiedl was forcibly incorporated into Trautmannsdorf together with Gallbrunn, which met with great resistance in the village.

In the past few years, Stixneusiedl owes its modest prosperity to viticulture. The many wine cellars in the two cellar lanes still bear witness to this. The mansion cellar of the Batthyany, which bears the year 1742, shows the wealth of wine from that time. "Zehentwein" was stored in this cellar and from there brought to Vienna or sold in the manor house. With the appearance of phylloxera in the 19th century, viticulture went downhill. Over time, however, there was an upturn.

Three monarchs meeting

In 1515 the "Three Monarchs Meeting" took place east of Stixneusiedl. Emperor Maximilian I , King Sigismund I of Poland and King Ladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary were present .
