==Geography== Lanzenkirchen is situated on the river Leitha, south of the city Wiener Neustadt, at the foot of the Rosaliengebirge mountain range. The municipality consists of five Katastralgemeinden: Lanzenkirchen, Frohsdorf, Haderswörth, Kleinwolkersdorf and Ofenbach.
==History== ===Origin of the place names in Lanzenkirchen=== ''Lanzenkirchen'': The name comes from a German settler who built a church. His name was ''Anzo'' or ''Lanzo''. The name ''Lanzenkirchen'' was first mentioned in 1130.
''Frohsdorf'': The original name was ''Krottendorf'' because many toads ({{langx|de|Kröten}}) were found in the water-rich area. It became Froschdorf in the 17th century ({{langx|de|Frosch}} means "frog"). Its present name has been used since the beginning of the 19th century.
''Haderswörth'': This name means "river island of Hadurich".
''Kleinwolkersdorf'': Until around 1800 the village was known as ''Wolfkersdorf'', meaning "village of Wolfkers".
''Ofenbach'': The place was originally known as ''Quenbach''. The origin of the name Ofenbach is unknown.
