Structures - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 1961 - 20 Groschen

The brand image shows a farm in Mörbisch and thus a characteristic building of Burgenland, which in 1961 celebrated its 40-year affiliation with Austria. Mörbisch was first mentioned in 1244 and even then was closely related to the nearby Ödenburg. After the new limitation after the First World War, the border town, it quickly became the well-known tourist resort, and the Mörbischer wine got an internationally recognized name. The village has preserved its typical character over the centuries. These include the Mörbischer Vorhallenhäuser, which, although they were built in the middle of the last century, follow an age-old tradition, uniting popular architecture with contemporary architectural ideas. According to the type, these houses are residential stables, ie terraced houses, which turn the gable of the inhabited part of the street. Stube, chamber and kitchen, but also wine cellars and stables, lie under a ridge line. In the Mörbischer Vorhallenhäusern the entrance is under an open arcade, which has a late classicist design.
