Zsira (German Tening , Croatian rarely Žira ) is a municipality in the western Hungarian region of Western Transdanubia in Győr-Moson-Sopron County in Hungary . It is located near the border with Austria on the Rabnitz , a road connects the village with the Austrian municipality of Lutzmannsburg to the west .
history
The place was first mentioned in 1225 as Syra , the incorporated villages Salamonfa in 1412 and Gyüleviz in 1466. Until 1848 Zsira was owned by the bishops of Raab and was part of the Ödenburg County in the Kingdom of Hungary . After the end of the First World War , the village was to be attached to the Austrian Burgenland , but there was an exchange of territory and so Zsira became part of Hungary in 1922. In 1931 today's community was founded by incorporating the previously independent villages Gyüleviz (Jelewies) and Salamonfa (Salmasdorf) in the east .
