Numerous Hungarians crossed the border into Austria at the time of the Soviet invasion, and thus into freedom. Numerous monuments and works of art commemorate this historic event.

The Andau Bridge is a narrow wooden bridge over the Einser Canal on the Austro-Hungarian border in Seewinkel near the village of Andau (Hungarian: Mosontarcsa). The bridge became famous when tens of thousands of people fled to Austria here after the suppression of the Hungarian people's uprising.

History: Until 1956, the bridge served the local farmers in Seewinkel as an auxiliary bridge to reach their fields, which were often on both sides of the border. The bridge crosses the Einser Canal.
