history

Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg , which was the main town for the entire north-east Noricum .

Later under the Romans, the present-day towns of Hölles and Matzendorf were in the province of Pannonia .

The first remains of settlement can be traced back to Roman times.

Matzendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1327 (document in the central archive of the Teutonic Order in Vienna ). The name and origin of the place can be traced back to the old knight family Matzo, who lived in the now defunct Rohr bei Baden in the 12th and 13th centuries.

The town of Hölles was probably founded in the 12th century by a man named Heldolph. Hölles was first mentioned in a document when a witness named "Heinricus de Heldolphs" was named in a document from March 18, 1187 given to Salchenowe (= Sollenau ), which is kept in Heiligenkreuz Abbey . The name of the settlement later changed to "Heldus", "Halles", "Hollas" and finally "Hölles".

In 1971, the then still autonomous places Matzendorf and Hölles were merged to form the local community "Matzendorf-Hölles".

The upper left heraldic quarter shows the letters "M" and "H" piled on top of each other, which stand for Matzendorf and Hölles. The double pair of keys placed over the letters indicates that the Matzendorf parish belongs to Melk Abbey . The lower left quarter shows a cog wheel that encloses a dexel , symbolizing the proportion of employees in the population. The Dexel (= punching tool) stands for the former importance of resin extraction in the community's pine forests. The color scheme on the left in blue and gold symbolizes, on the one hand, belonging to the federal state of Lower Austria , and on the other hand, it is intended to indicate agriculture in Matzendorf-Hölles (blue sky over golden-yellow grain fields).

Culture and sights

Cemetery in Hell

The Pecherpfad in Hölles was supported by a private initiators group in memory of the former craft of resin production built on the edge of the wood Hölles and "officially opened on August 30 at the 1998" Pecherfest "where the then Economy Minister Johann Farnleitner , who himself had learned the Pecherhandwerk, The resin extraction in the pine forests of the region has a long tradition that goes back at least to the 17th century.
Schwab and Löschwasserteich: Next to the Löschwasserteich in Matzendorf, an open wooden hut with a trough in the middle has been preserved. Until the post-war period (when there were no washing machines), the local women brought the freshly washed laundry here to be washed with fresh water. The water from the D-Brunnen flowed through this trough into the extinguishing water pond, which is located between the “Schwab” and Badener Straße. In earlier times, this pond was also used to soak barrels and vats of wine growers. As a result, they became tight again and fresh wine could be poured in again after the harvest.

Today a memorial plaque on the north side of the Waldhauser inn commemorates him and his services. Kinner's grave is in the Matzendorfer cemetery.

Matzendorf is also called "Schimmelhausen". This name goes back to a legend: In the early years of the village, a white horse is said to have run into a church in the area of today's Matzendorfer cemetery, the door slammed and the poor animal was locked up. Out of famine, the mold began to gnaw on the rope of the church bell. The villagers were terrified when the bells began to ring, and they feared that the devil had gone to church. When the bell stopped a few days later, brave citizens ventured into the church and found the dead horse. In the surrounding communities, residents were therefore mocked for their cowardice.
