 In the 13th century the earl Poth took over Podersdorf and Potzneusiedl, what explains the name change from Altdorf to Podersdorf.In the donation document of the year 1217, which is an evidence of the donation to the Cistercian Order instructed by King Andreas II, the village is evidenced by documents for the first time.Until 1919/20, Podersdorf was named 'Patfal' and was part of Hungary.
