After the district reform in the state of Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Mattendorf was assigned to the newly formed Spree-Neisse district . Since December 31, 2001, the community Mattendorf formed the new large community Wiesengrund through a voluntary merger with the previously independent communities Gahry , Gosda , Jethe and Trebendorf .
