Tips from the Community
Name Meaning: "Urban" is Latin and means "the city dweller, the educated one" Depiction: He is often depicted in papal robes with a sword, vine, or grape. Customs: The feast day of St. Urban falls during the time of the beginning of vine blossom and is therefore of importance to the winegrowers. The Church celebrates May 25th as his memorial day and it is a public holiday in all wine-growing regions. In many places, the faithful participate in solemn processions to St. Urban. An old saying states: "If Urbanus Day has much sunshine, it promises much and good wine." How much St. Urban was and is revered can still be seen today in almost all wine-growing villages, even where wine has long since ceased to be cultivated, as in our village.

The border guard house in Neudörfl, rebuilt in 1994, is a historical monument at the former crossing from Trans- to Cisleithania (Hungary/Austria). It is located about 150 meters east of the middle of the Leitha river and recalls the time when the place was a border station.

Due to its size, the park is of course also ideal for doing sports. Walking among the shady trees and around a lake or along the canal, or running on one of the many different marked running routes. Cycling is just as good as, for example, horse riding.

The St. Urban Chapel in Tattendorf, a small but significant site dedicated to St. Urban, rises picturesquely amidst the rolling hills of the wine-growing region. Donated in 1996 by Karl Freis, it captivates not only the faithful but also nature lovers and hikers. The chapel is a popular destination for excursions and offers hikers a charming rest stop on their routes through the idyllic landscape. The hiking trail, surrounded by vineyards, allows visitors to explore the beauty of the region. The chapel is often chosen as a waypoint where visitors can enjoy a moment of peace and admire the view over the adjacent vineyards. The St. Urban Chapel is thus not only a spiritual place but also a symbol of the close connection between faith and the wine-growing tradition in this picturesque area.
