Purbach am Neusiedlersee

Purbach am Neusiedlersee is a municipality on the western shore of Lake Neusiedl in Austria. It spreads across flat terrain with vineyards and sits within the Eisenstadt-Umgebung district.

The area was inhabited since ancient times and lay on an important trade route during the Roman period. In the 20th century, political control shifted when the territory became part of Austria in 1918 and received its current name.

The municipality is shaped by wine production, and vineyards and wine cellars are visible throughout the landscape. Visitors experience a place where this tradition still defines the daily rhythm and local identity.

The place is easily reached by car or bicycle with good road connections. Visitors can find information at the municipal administration on Hauptgasse 38, which can help with questions about lodging and local events.

The place name comes from the Hungarian name Feketeváros and was changed after World War I. This name shift reflects the new borders and Austrian belonging that continue to shape regional identity today.
