History

The diocesan territory belonged to the end of the First World War to Hungary and was administered by the Diocese of Győr / Raab and the Diocese of Szombathely / Szombathely. In 1921 the province of Burgenland became part of Austria.

From 1922 to 1949, the Archbishops of the Archdiocese of Vienna were appointed as Apostolic Administrator. Under Cardinal Theodor Innitzer the Burgenland seminary in Vienna and a minor seminary were built. The church administration was moved from Vienna to Eisenstadt.

The annexation of Austria in 1938 brought heavy setbacks caused by the dissolution of Catholic private schools and the obstruction of pastoral care. The church administration had initially then moved to Bad Sauerbrunn after Mattersburg and.

After the Second World War, Joseph Schoiswohl 1949 appointed administrator, who moved the church administration back to Eisenstadt.
