Bergwerk
Village of 140 residents in the Oberwart district.

A scattered village (not a linear along one street), it is now part of Mariasdorf along with Grodnau, Neustift bei Schlaining and Tauchen. A former very old mining town dating from the 1400s, it was an important source of copper and iron for the Counts of Güssing, now mostly agrarian. An Urbar of 1645 calls it Perckwerk with 40 houses. It is now the market town of Mariasdorf.
