Pornóapáti
Pornóapáti (until 1899: ''Pornó''; german: Pernau; hr, Pornova) is a village in Vas County, Hungary, situated on the river Pinka and Hungary's border with Austria. The village is sometimes said to have been founded in 1691. The attribution cannot be correct. Nothing happened in that year to warrant it. The date is most likely taken from an Urbarium (land registry) executed between the Society of Jesus and the tenants in that year. (The present whereabouts of the document, if extant, are unknown.) The oldest known written record is the charter by which the Cistercian Order was granted land, dated 1233. In the grant of Perwolf to Schützen, dated 1221, it is mentioned as an adjoiner. (It evidently pre-existed that grant and is more than 800 years old.) The German name "Bernau" probably dates to 828, when Louis the German divided the Ostmark into counties and renamed the county seat in which it is located, the Roman city of Savaria, Stein am Anger.
