Burgenland is home to more than 8,000 ethnic
Hungarians. More than 30% of the
inhabitants live in four settlements: Unterwart/Alsóor, Oberwart/Felsoor,
Oberpullendorf/Felsopulya and Siget in der Wart/Orisziget. They use the Hungarian flag on the Hungarian national
holidays.
István Molnár, 5 June 2001
As far as I know, Croats in Burgenland consider themselves Croatians, and use
Croatian flag or variation without the "crest" and
smaller shield often in home made flags, though they may be some
local flags. However, such flags would not be the national flags,
but the flags of their societies and such. I believe that Burgenland Croat communities at least have
several flags of their cultural societies. But, as I said, they
can't be considered national flags.
