history

With the farms Mattersberger, Innerschröck, Auserschröck, Egger, Oberfeldner, Zoppet, Steiger, Woar, Kros and Seeler still existing in the 19th century, Mattersberg was originally much more densely populated. Most of these were small farms, of which only around half are still managed today. The others are only managed as a supply or have been abandoned. The name Mattersberger also comes from Mattersberg , although Georg Mattersberger, the father of the inventor of the sewing machine Josef Madersperger , grew up on Mattersberg.

Buildings and sights

There is a chapel and a wayside shrine on the two high courtyards of the Mattersberg. The Oberfeldner farm houses a small house chapel, which was built in 1940/1947 and dedicated to the poor souls . The chapel goes back to a vow made by the Trager family, who run the Oberfeldnerhof and built the chapel out of gratitude for Peter Trager's return from the Second World War. In the 1980s the chapel was moved to its current location. The chapel has a rectangular floor plan with a retracted altar niche, above which a shingle roof with ridge turrets and cross rises. The entrance portal with a round arch is secured by a wrought-iron lattice door; inside the ceiling is formed by a barrel vault. In the altar niche there is a crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Not far from the Armen-Seelen-Kapelle on the grounds of the Mattersberger-Hof is the Mattersberger Kirchl, a chapel shrine built in 1982, which was erected in gratitude for healing a child of the Mattersberger family. The open chapel shrine has a small, attached tower and was built according to plans by Josef Brugger from Matrei. The arched niche was protected by a shingle-covered pent roof and houses a wooden mosaic, which was also made by Josef Brugger and was designed in the manner of a winged altar. The wooden mosaic shows the Mother of God with the baby Jesus surrounded by angels. In the wings there are depictions of the birth of Jesus with the adoration of the shepherds and the adoration of the three wise men.
