Burgenland: Description

Burgenland is the easternmost province of the Republic of Austria and borders in the west on the provinces of Lower Austria and Styria. Burgenland also borders Slovakia and Hungary to the east. The provincial capital of Burgenland is Eisenstadt. The name Burgenland comes from the historical name of the Hungarian administrative units there during the Habsburg Monarchy, which all bore the name "castle". Geographically, Burgenland is characterised in particular by Lake Neusiedl in northern Burgenland. Politically, the SPÖ has provided the provincial governor of Burgenland since 1964.
