city (1990 pop. 55,088), NW Hungary, near the Austrian border. It is a tourism and commercial center
with fruit-preserving, sugar-refining, and cotton textile industries. Originally a Celtic settlement called
Scarabantia, it became a military outpost under the Romans. Hungarians settling the area in the 10th
and 11th cent. made the city an important fortress. Sopron was the site of the coronation of King (later
emperor) Ferdinand III of Hungary and Bohemia in 1625 and a meeting place of the Hungarian
Parliament in 1681. Part of the Burgenland, it was transferred to Austria after World War I but was
returned to Hungary after a plebiscite (1921). Sopron is one of the oldest cultural centers in Hungary; it
has a university, three 13th-century churches, and a 15th-century palace. Franz Liszt was born at
nearby Dobojan.
