Parish before the merger in 1999

Methindorf was first mentioned in a document in 1261. The Counts of Kyburg and Rudolf von Habsburg-Neukyburg were bailiffs of the Dinghof Mettendorf, which belonged to Reichenau Abbey . The lower jurisdiction of Mettendorf was jointly owned by the Reichenau bailiff and the owner of the Wellenberg estate until 1798 . In 1430 Mettendorf received a bailiwick and in 1456 a court was opened . In the Old Zurich War (1436–1450) it was sacked in 1445 by a federal foray, and in 1701 it suffered a village fire.

Mettendorf was parish after Pfyn . After the Reformation , the churchgoers went from Mettendorf to Hüttlingen, although they were still subordinate to Pfyn. Mettendorf has belonged to the parish of Hüttlingen since 1712 .

From the late Middle Ages onwards, Hüttlingen and Mettendorf shared a thousand Jucharten forest, which was eliminated in 1815. Until 1900 agriculture, cattle breeding, dairy farming, fruit growing, beekeeping, viticulture and basketry dominated. A cheese dairy existed from 1885 to 2002. Due to the quiet residential area in Mettendorf, the population has been growing since 1970.
