history
Mattighofen was one of the five early Bavarian ducal courts. In 757 a royal palace was established . In 1007 the Mattiggau was given to the diocese of Bamberg . In 1517, Count Christoph von Ortenburg acquired the castle and the rule. His son Joachim introduced the Reformation in his Lower Bavarian county in 1563 . For Mattighofen, too, this caused conflicts with the Bavarian dukes for decades. In 1602 the counts were reconciled with the dukes. In return, however, they had to sell the rule to the Wittelsbachers for 102,000 guilders . With the Treaty of Teschen in 1779/80, the entire Innviertel including Mattighofen became part of Austria . During the Napoleonic Wars briefly Bavarian again, the place has been part of Upper Austria since 1816 ( Treaty of Munich ). After Austria was annexed to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the "Gau Oberdonau". After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place. Mattighofen was elevated to a town in 1986 by the Upper Austrian provincial government . In 2012 Mattighofen, together with Burghausen and Braunau , hosted the Upper Austrian provincial exhibition , which was one of the most popular in the history of the provincial exhibitions. In Mattighofen, the state exhibition was located in the castle, which was redesigned after the exhibition into the new city office and has been in operation as such since 2013.
