Mattersburg

Mattersburg is a town in the northern part of Burgenland that serves as the administrative center for its district. The town center clusters around Hauptplatz, where the main government buildings handle services for the surrounding municipalities.

The settlement was founded as Villa Martini in 1202 and received market town status in 1354. The name changed from Mattersdorf to Mattersburg in 1924.

The district maintains strong connections to Hungarian heritage through its bilingual communities and traditional celebrations that reflect the region's border location.

The town is best explored on foot, with Hauptplatz serving as a good starting point for orientation. Visitors should allow time to explore the wider surroundings and nearby municipalities within the district.

A local ceramics factory once produced pieces in the 19th century that imitated the style of Vienna porcelain. The factory's output was recognized for its craftsmanship and found buyers throughout the region.
