The Strem (Hungarian Strém , Croatian Štrim , Burgenland-Romani Schtremakeri lenori ) is an approximately 56 km long river in southern Burgenland . Shortly before its confluence with the Pinka , of which it is the largest tributary, the Strem crosses the Austro - Hungarian state border and flows for only a short distance on Hungarian territory. The Pinka flows into the Raab just a few kilometers after joining the Strem . The Stremquelle is west of Oberwart , in the area of the municipality of Markt Allhau . The name Strem is likely of Slavic origin and means something like "arm" or "thread" (slov. Strémen ).
On June 25, 2009 an extreme flood caused severe damage to the Strem. The city of Güssing and the municipality of Strem were particularly hard hit .
Güssing Castle rises high above the lower Stremtal , the oldest castle complex in Burgenland (from 1157) and a striking landmark of the region. The unregulated old runs of Strem and Pinka form the border with Hungary on their last kilometers. This section of the border near the village of Luising is a specialty as it is the youngest section of the Austrian state border. The cadastral community of Luising was not annexed to Austria until January 10, 1923 and not, like the rest of Burgenland, as early as 1921.
