One of the six specific wine-growing regions in the Austrian province or generic wine-growing region of Burgenland. In 2016, the wine-growing regions were restructured with changes to the designations and area boundaries. The former name Südburgenland was replaced by Eisenberg.

The new name was chosen because the "ü" could have a disruptive effect when exporting and "Eisenberg" was already the name of the traditional wine-growing region in the past. From the 12th century onwards, the Cistercian monastic order in particular made a decisive contribution to the development of viticulture here. After the phylloxera catastrophe, the local wine speciality Uhudler was born here at the beginning of the 20th century.
