History
Deutschkreutz has been a market town since 1340 (no documentation 1370-1429). The town belonged to Hungary as part of Sopron County until 1920. After the end of World War I, the territory was given to Austria by the Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon. Since 1921, the town has belonged to the newly founded State of Burgenland.
In Jewish history, Deutschkreutz was one of the Seven Communities of Burgenland.
