Sankt Martin in der Wart

Sankt Martin in der Wart is a village in Burgenland, Austria. It lies north-east of Oberwart beside the Zickenbach stream. The Landesstraße L240 runs through the settlement. Farmland surrounds the place, with woods nearby. The village has a long history tied to the name Saint Martin. The church of Saint Martin of Tours stands at the eastern edge of the village. It gives the settlement its name and points to an early Christian presence. In 1938 the village had trades such as a smith, a shoemaker and a dairy co-operative. Later it became part of Oberwart but kept its own identity. Two notable people came from here: cyclist Verena Eberhardt and actor Andy Hallwaxx. Visitors find a quiet rural village with a single landmark church. The stream runs beside the main road. Fields and small gardens fill the landscape. The soil quality is moderate, with a soil-climate rating of 43.3. A local history book and article describe the village’s past in detail.
