The coat of arms was awarded to the municipality on March 3, 1980 by the Upper Austrian regional government.

The community colors are green-yellow-green.

history

The settlement should have taken place in the 7th century. A naming Vuentilborth or Zuentipolch comes around 925 (927) in the Salzburg document book I.Bd. P. 154 in De complacitatione Adalungi nobilis diaconi . On January 9, 1475 it was called Wendelgering and around 1557 Wenndling . Until the founding of the local community in 1848 , the farmers were liable to pay ten fees to the Erlach , Starhemberg near Haag, Lambach monastery , Wels Castle , the parish of Kallham and others.

A church building dedicated to St. Ulrich appears around 1200 to 1220. In 1508 the originally Gothic church was rebuilt and enlarged. During the local fire on October 1, 1884 (total damage 76,021 guilders), the church tower also burned down. In 1901 the new tower was built. The pointed tower rises 48 m high and was the model for the church tower in Schwanenstadt. The branch church of St. Georg in Zupfing has been donated since 1466. The Wendling parish has been administered and looked after from Pram since August 1, 1970: it was an independent parish from 1891, previously the parish was a branch of Kallham.

The municipality of the cadastral communities Wendling and Zupfing was in the judicial district of Haag am Hausruck and since July 1, 1911 in the west of the political district of Grieskirchen (previously Ried im Innkreis). Since January 1st, 2003 it has been part of the judicial district of Grieskirchen.

Population development

In 1991 the community had 765 inhabitants according to the census, in 2001 it had 831 inhabitants. The increase occurred because both the birth balance and the migration balance were positive. From 2001 to 2011 there was an emigration that could no longer be offset by the birth balance, so that the population fell to 807.
