history

Zemendorf and Stöttera (center below) around 1873 (recording sheet of the state survey )

Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg .

Later, under the Romans, today's places Stöttera and Zemendorf were then in the province of Pannonia .

Like all of Burgenland, the place belonged to Hungary (German-West Hungary) until 1920/21 . Since 1898 had due to the Magyarization of the government in Budapest of Hungarian name Zemenye-Selegd be used.

After the end of the First World War , after tough negotiations, German-West Hungary was awarded to Austria in the Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon in 1919. The place has belonged to the newly founded federal state of Burgenland since 1921 (see also the history of Burgenland ).

The district of Stöttera was called Stöttern until 1926.

The previously independent municipalities of Zemendorf and Stöttera decided in 1938 to build a joint elementary school. In 1939 it was merged to form the municipality of Zemendorf-Stöttera. The parish hall of Stöttera was sold for the construction of the elementary school. The repair of the bridges and the renovation of the church were among the first reconstruction measures after the Second World War . In the years that followed, freight routes were expanded.

In 1971 the municipality of Zemendorf-Stöttera was merged with the municipality of Pöttelsdorf to form the new municipality of Pöttelsdorf. In 1991 the large community was dissolved again. The community of Zemendorf-Stöttera remained independent, with the administrative seat in Zemendorf. This also made Pöttelsdorf an independent municipality again.
