History
Bad Tatzmannsdorf had a settlement as early as the 11th century. The earlier Hungarian name of Bad Tatzmannsdorf, Tarcsa, derives from its historical ownership by a minor noble family known as the “de Tarcsa”. The town is mentioned in Urbars as early as 1378. German settlers arrived in the 14th and 15th centuries. Devastated by the Turks in 1529 and 1532, the town was subsequently settled by Croats in 1572 under the leadership of Gregor Tarrody, and later acquired by the Batthyany family in 1633. It became a favored health resort for the Konigsberg, Erdody, Batthyany, and Esterhazy families. Bad Tatzmannsdorf has long been recognized as an important health resort, and there are numerous legends of remarkable cures associated with Bad Tatzmannsdorf. Its spring waters, composed of alkaline, iron, and acidulous mineral water, is known since the Roman times. Bad Tatzmannsdorf gained recognition as a health spa in the Regensberger History (Chronik) of 1621. During the first half of the 1800s and beyond, it became a popular destination for visitors from Vienna, as mentioned by Adelbert Stifter in his novels. The resort area now boasts a variety of world-class hotels, museums, sports complexes, and more. [3][4]
Between 1869 and 1921 Bad Tatzmannsdorf belonged to Hungary, like the whole of Burgenland.
