history

Mörtersdorf was already documented in the Middle Bronze Age (1600-1300 BC), as evidenced by a burial mound from this time. In the Middle Ages the place appears for the first time in 1171 with the mention of an Albert and Gottfried "von Mertinsdorf". At that time there was a fortified aristocratic seat of "Lorenz Abtmaer zu Mertensdarff", which was last mentioned in 1435. In modern times the place belonged to the rulership of Horn and Rosenburg, partly to the rulership of Gars , where it was parishly assigned until 1783. In the 19th century the place was called Mertersdorf or Mördersdorf . In 1815 the robber captain Johann Georg Grasel was arrested in a pub in Mörtersdorf and transferred to Vienna.

In 1938 Mörtersdorf was incorporated into Mold with the neighboring Zaingrub , but after 1945 it became an independent municipality again. On January 1, 1967, Mörtersdorf merged with Mold and Zaingrub to form the municipality of Mold. The municipality of Rosenburg-Mold was created in 1971 by merging the municipalities of Rosenburg with Stallegg and Mold.
