Matzelsdorf is a church village and a cadastral community on Millstätter Berg in the municipality of Millstatt in the Spittal an der Drau district in the Austrian state of Carinthia . This most easterly place on the high plateau above Lake Millstatt in the Nock Mountains at 848 m above sea level can be reached via the B 98 or L 17. To the south of the village there is a partially preserved raised bog . Neighboring places are Sappl and Dellach am Millstättersee.
Location and economy
Like the surrounding towns, Matzelsdorf is a rural recreation village. In the absence of local businesses, the population commutes. According to the 2014 population statistics, the place has 191 inhabitants, the neighboring town of Sappl 256. In social life, Matzelsdorf and Sappl are often closely connected. As one of the four cadastral communities of Millstatt, Matzelsdorf is an administrative unit in the land register. Between 1889 and 1973 the place belonged to the municipality of Obermillstatt. There is a catering business and a few hotels and restaurants as well as full-time farmers.
The connection to local public transport takes place via the Postbus , which drives to the place several times a day on its route from Spittal. There are no street names in the village, only house numbers that residents, postmen, vendors and visitors have to orientate themselves by.
history
Early history
The place Matzelsdorf with Roman Catholic. Chapel is first mentioned in writing in 1177 as Dulmatisdorf in connection with a donation for the foundation of the Benedictine monastery Millstatt by the Aribones . In the local dialect , the place is called Matschderf . The place name, 1202 Domatsdorf and 1286 and 1364 Mätzleinsdorf , is a derivation of the Slovenian personal name Dolmač , probably a form of the Latin Dalmatius . It is very likely that the place was not founded by the Carantans and existed long before the Slavic settlement from the 6th century. In the neighboring towns of Sappl and Lammersdorf , traces of Neolithic settlement were found that date back to around 3000 BC . At the time of the birth of Christ, the Millstätter Berg belonged to the tribal area of the Ambidravi , the "people living on both sides of the Drau", a Roman name for the Noric population who settled here and were of Celtic or strongly Celtic origin. In Roman times , the place was on the way from Teurnia to the region and Kirchheimer valley . South of Matzelsdorf, the old Roman road led from Döbriach to the Millstätter Berg. The road directly on Lake Millstatt was only built in modern times, because the rocks at the Hohe Wand were insurmountable for a long time.
A first inventory of the farms in Matzelsdorf, at least those that belonged to the Millstatt Abbey, can be found in the land register of the Knights of St. George from 1470, which was drawn up when the Benedictines took over the monastery. “Anndre Schuster zu Metzlisdorff, dint von zwayn huben , idem von ainem lehen ; Mert Lederer, dint from ainem akher and vörstlin: Gotfrid, Fischer, dint from aim lehen zu Stegka; Christian zu Stegka, dint von ainer huben ... but idem von ainem lehen; Ruepl there dint from one huben. ”Here, significantly fewer courtyards are listed than in the neighboring, churchless Sappl, where a total of seven hubs, seven armchairs, a Schwaige and a field are listed. It is unclear where the local boundaries ran, since the name Stegka most closely corresponds to today's Steggaberhof , which is in Sappl (No. 2). The listing of a second farmer at Stegka reinforces this assumption, because there used to be an Unter-Steggaber farm . In 1477 the place is mentioned as Metzelsdorff . From 1500 there are no more references to Matzelsdorf in the Millstatt springs. In 1575, during construction work on the Döbriacher Pfarrstadel Matzelsdorfer, two “Milanese”, two “Türgg”, one “Stegaber”, one “Winkler” and one “Caspar Gaugelhofer”, which still has the common vulgar name “Gauggler”, are mentioned. As a complaint to the Unterberggericht in 1513 shows, there seems to have been a mining operation in Matzelsdorf around this time. From 1598 to 1773 the place was part of the Millstatt Jesuit rule .

Pilgrimage church Maria Schnee
Nothing is known about the circumstances of the founding of the Church. During the renovation in 2004 and 2005, the foundations of the original chapel were found, but they did not allow a more precise dating. Coats of arms in the ribbed vault show that Johann Geumann, Grand Master of the St. George Knights from 1508–1533, was responsible for converting the nave and choir. The choir, the tall windows, the pointed tower, the chancel and a Gothic chalice and ciborium all date from this period . In 1615 a visit report speaks of a striking and abundant construction, although the church has not yet been consecrated. In 1438 the church was already known as Marienkirche our dear frawn churches towards Metzleinsdorf and was consecrated to the Assumption of Mary . By 1629 at the latest, Maria Schnee was a branch church of Döbriach , which in turn was part of the original parish of Molzbichl until 1786 . It is possible that Matzelsdorf was sold to Molzbichl by the Georgsrittern, who were always in financial difficulties. Since 1999 the now listed church has belonged to the parish of Obermillstatt , as Matzelsdorf is oriented towards Millstatt in terms of local politics and the kindergarten and elementary school are located in Obermillstatt. The place is only directly connected to Döbriach on foot.
The frescoes by Balthasar Klenkh on the walls and ceiling show scenes from the life of Mary and were painted around 1716. During the restoration work, six life-size apostle frescoes were uncovered, which were mentioned in a report from 1837, but were later painted over. The high altar dates from the 2nd decade of the 18th century, although the sculptural group "Coronation of Mary" in the top of today's altar could have been made around 1500. The right side altar bears the year 1659, the left was made at the beginning of the 18th century. The baroque organ was built in the first half of the 19th century.
The oldest tower bell serves as a weather bell and was cast in 1687. The smallest bell once rang in the Starfach chapel. With the exception of one bell, in 1917, as in many churches, the bells and organ pipes had to be delivered for metal extraction in order to melt them down for war purposes in the First World War . It was not until 1924 that the bell was complete again, after two new steel bells could be bought, which were transported from Dellach via the then very steep road up the mountain by a team of oxen. Unfortunately, the mood of the two bells did not match and they had to be retuned at the production site in Kapfenberg .
As is so often the case, Matzelsdorf's reputation as a place of pilgrimage goes back to times of need. When there was great need after the Thirty Years' War , the plague is said to have ravaged around 1681, people vowed to make processions to Matzelsdorf in several places in the surrounding area. In the hundred years up to the state church reforms by Emperor Joseph II from 1782, which severely restricted popular piety , Matzelsdorf experienced its heyday. The last great liturgical processions , in which the service had to be held outdoors due to lack of space, took place in 1914 at the beginning of the First World War. Petition processions to and from Matzelsdorf still exist today. The furthest leads to Maria Bichl near Lendorf .
Church day in Matzelsdorf and Sappl
The church day on the third Sunday in July is the most important church festival in Matzelsdorf and Sappl. The annual celebration of the consecration is an ancient custom and almost always associated with a folk festival. In the past, the church festival “belonged” to the unmarried young men of the villages, who elected a drinking and dancing master and their deputy from among them. These four, who wore particularly lavishly decorated hats, formed the organizing committee of the church day and carried the sky above the monstrance during the procession across the fields . Every drinking boy was looking for a dancer who tied him a bush , which was handed over in a glass with schnapps at Kirchsåmstig , with two Kirchtag Kråpfen . On the morning of the church day, the population was woken up with gunfire . After the festive service, the music moved to the Dietrich inn in Sappl. Traditionally, the spiritual part of the church festival takes place in Matzelsdorf, the secular part in the greater Sappl, because this was the only inn for a long time. The donations from the Tuschspiele covered the consumption of the boozer over the afternoon. In the evening there was a dance entertainment with free entry, whereby each dance had to be paid for immediately. With the surplus of money that was left after the musicians and the bill were paid, the Zechgesellschaft went on a trip. Since the 1950s, the custom gradually came and the church day is now organized by the Sappl-Matzelsdorf volunteer fire brigade, founded in 1890, for charitable purposes as an evening dance event on a festival meadow in Sappl.
The weather maker from Matzelsdorf
Notoriety of some twenty years of Kaspar Haintz, son gained the Rader Peter Haintz to mud village , 1653 in Gmund because Wettermacherei was executed. The trial documents show that Caspar was a weak, easily influenced, presumably mentally ill farmhand who was the victim of a witch trial . On April 1, 1653 officials from the lordships of Gmünd, Sommeregg and Millstatt met in Treffling to discuss current storm damage, the most recent Güss . They found out from a servant who boasted that he had been there to make the weather: It doesn't help, there are much more difficult gushes and greasers damage. Casper was arrested. The "sticky", so physically weak fellow served for several years for various farmers from Gschriet and Laufenberg to Treffling, but stayed nowhere longer. At the first interview he willingly told us that he had served as Wenzl in Lammersdorf and that he had talked to Stängl Adam and the Schilcheten Blasy at Zeunen in Berg. He should help the two hoop to make, because they wanted the farmers to Hadn verdirben . He also said that they had been with the Trefflinger Güss and flew ahead of the weather as vultures. Haintz was brought to Gmünd in the dungeon, the "Keichn", and subjected to an embarrassing interrogation . But even under torture, he told of meetings at the Millstätter Alpe , where about Güss-making , the chill-run , the frost-spreading and the Schneiben was advised. Haintz had also been a keeper , that is, shepherd on the Millstätter Alm and reported that the dairymaid Dorothe was even experienced in magic . At the frightening solemn interrogation on April 15, 1653 in Gmünd Castle, 114 questions were put to him during the "amicable exam". He did not deny anything, but became increasingly entangled in his fantasies. Neither threats nor friendly coaxing stopped him from believing what he was saying. In his stories he felt connected to the most famous witches and wizards in the country, but also named people from his circle of acquaintances as accomplices. He fantasized about absurd meetings. On the Kirchheimer Alm there would be a festive meal with five "Teixeln" ( devils ), dressed like the gentlemen but recognizable by the "clutter" (claws) on their hands and feet, several magicians, other guests such as Gaugler Hansl, Strafacher Riepl , the salt carrier Stoffl and some minstrels. Gaißen and freshlings were eaten. And he, the Casperle had helped bring the wine to the alpine pastures by helping black dogs to bring the wine barrel from the Mar in Radenthal ( Radenthein ) to the alpine pasture. The well-known sorceress "Kohlrouchin" and "two sendesses, Stina and Barbara, both widows and living in a chaste room in Lammersdorf, were the funniest dancers". When asked how to make frost, Casper replied: “To make frost you need a wheel. It looks like a Kumpfmühlrad (mill wheel with blades), is bigger and higher than a spinning wheel. There are new Agen in the Kumpf. If the magician turns the wheel hard, the agents fly out. As thick as they are then, the frost is so strong. ”For the Güss you need“ old shoe stains, virgin wool, birch leaves, old shoe straps and again agen. ”In a shower,“ cow hair and snow ”were needed. The judgment of the judges was clear. While the Millstatt court judge tried to moderate Stiegg, Dr. Johannes Kletterhammer, judge of the Gmünd lordship, on full culpability: "All in all, the ones known from Casperl, especially those of Gaugler Hansl and Starfacher Riepl zu Matschdorf, which are infallibly afflicted with magic." you think he is. Has given the statement as properly as the wittiest and cleverest can do. ”After two and a half months in prison, the verdict was announced on June 9, 1653 in Gmünd:
In response to complaint and answer, speech and counter-speech, bring in everything legally for and, then sufficient judicial inquiries, including the perpetrator, both amicable and embarrassing testimony and confession was rightly recognized by the imperial ban judge, judge and assessor that the Caspar Haintz von Matzdorf is on trial, how he deserves a greater punishment in half of his sorcery and the damage inflicted by it, but from the sparing of his youth and rather the precaution of his poor soul, it was a punishment, but for others an example to the ordinary Judgment place, where there is directed from life to death with the sword and his body is blotted to dust and ashes with fire. Also happen what is right.
That evening Casper Haintz was beheaded with the sword and burned. The trial and detention costs of the blood court are meticulously listed in the file - 190 guilders and 7 kreuzers . Such wrong judgments can be explained not only with the then still prevailing belief in magic, but with the simple fact that the badly paid judges had no permanent income, but were paid according to individual performance.
In Matzelsdorf there is still the custom of the weather ringing . By ringing the church bells violently, you think you can drive away storms. As the danger zone map shows, these are actually rarer than usual on Millstätter Berg. Only in 1903 is it reported that there was a major flood at the Sonnenhofbach (brook from Matzelsdorf to Dellach), with a brook outflow above Matzelsdorf and repeated flooding of the fields. The reason for this is not so much the ringing of the weather, but rather the geographical location on the eastern foothills of the Millstätter Alpe, where thunderclouds can move more easily to the north and east.
Matzelsdorfer Höfe
A typical farm for the area was the Forstbauer Hof, a chaste farm before the Second World War , today a Paarhof . It is mentioned for the first time in 1520 as a field and "Förstlein". In 1569 he was referred to as a "fiefdom". In the 17th century the farm could be found as a chaste "Am Forst bei Matzleinsdorff". In 1877 the reality was registered as a "forest farmer" in the documents of the first land register.
Matzeldorf in literature
The Viennese alpinist and court chamber clerk Josef Kyselak (1798–1831) also came to Millstätter Berg on his hike in Austria in 1825. On the way from Döbriach to Matzeldorf, he found the area above Starfach particularly impressive. “From Döbriach via Hochdellach, a distance of two hours, is one of the most picturesque routes. On the right, huge granite rocks, partly wooded, partly consisting of loose rubble, which seem to have defied an earth revolution only recently, and only wait for a breeze to roll again. ”He also writes:“ Now we have to come to an agreement Hütten von Oberdellach (or Matzesldorf), a waterfall as beautiful as only nature can create, cascades down in steps over a towering rock face, and soon another roars down. To see this in all its value, one has to climb 200 steps and - one thanks oneself for the effort! At this brook, some farmers have small hand mills that meet their household needs and they override more sensitive expenses. "
Say
- Church foundation with team of oxen. In the Messner family it is said that the farmers from Sappl and Matzelsdorf could not agree on a building site for the church one day and therefore sent a team of oxen, which remained at the current church location. But they continued to argue until the place was once again divinely confirmed by a sudden snowfall on the Assumption of Mary (August 15) and from which Maria Schnee derived herself.
- Heidenloch and the pagan women of Matzelsdorf. About the "Had'nloch", a cave near Göllgraben in the Koflach between Matzelsdorfer Alm and Döbriach, it was said that pagan people once lived there. A pagan (giant) maiden once kidnapped a farmer Winkler from the field. Her parents told her to bring him back immediately, because one day the Christians will overpower the Gentiles. When the farmer was free again, he threw stones at the heathen girl, which is why she cursed him: "Winkler always lived well, Winkler never lived well." From then on, the farmer Winkler went downhill until the farm had to be sold.
- The maiden jump from Döbriach. The beautiful peasant girl Jutta vom Brandner in Matzelsdorf and her father brought the taxes to be paid to the Jesuits in Millstatt Monastery. A young monk, Father Klement, fell in love with her, could no longer find peace, and lay in wait for her. She fled in the direction of Starfach and, in agony, fell from the rock near the Hohe Wand near Döbriach into Lake Millstatt. Jutta reached the bank alive. The monk who fell after drowned.
- The Wild Man Stein. South of Matzelsdorf on the old path from the valley to the mountain, when Hohe Wand and Jungfernsprung had to be bypassed, there is a throne-shaped stone with a knife recess. A wild man is said to have sat here one day. He absolutely wanted some red carbuncle stones, as the grenade used to be called, which was transported past here from Laufenberg on the rear Millstätter Alpe. To do this, he wanted to ambush the carter. However, this came and did not come, so he thrust his sword so hard into the stone that it split.
