== History == According to the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, in the western part of the Kingdom of Hungary, the city of Sopron and its surroundings were assigned to Austria. After an uprising in 1921 in this region, a referendum was held and although 81% of Sopronbánfalva voters chose to join Austria, 65.08% of the votes in total were in favor of belonging to Hungary. This referendum was accepted by the Entente Powers and Sopron and its surrounding 8 villages (including Sopronbánfalva) remained in Hungary.
