history

The name of the place Matzleinsdorf is mentioned as early as 1117. Finds prove a Roman settlement in the area. In 1693 the Matzleinsdorf branch was incorporated into Melk Abbey. It has existed as a separate parish since 1784. After its destruction in the Turkish year 1683 in the 18th century, the place burned down a total of five times, partly in its entirety, and was repeatedly rebuilt. In the immediate vicinity of Matzleinsdorf, apart from the parish church and the branch church in Maierhöfen, there are two more culturally and historically important places to visit, the "White Stone" (former border stone of Bavaria and the Wendenland) and the weir on the Müllnerkogel.

The Zelking ruin is located on the Melk River, a building by the free Hagenau family from the 11th century. In the 12th century the castle came into the possession of the Zelkingers , who also acquired the Schallaburg around 1270 . The long-lived family died out in 1634 with Ludwig Wilhelm von Zelking. From this the castle came to the Counts of Sinzendorf, 1802 to the Counts Harrach von Rohrau, around 1900 to the Heussenstamm family and finally in civil ownership. Outside of Zelking you can visit other old fortifications, the castle stables and the Hausberganlage in Arb. In 1970 the communities of Zelking and Matzleinsdorf were united.

In 1998 the coat of arms was awarded by the state government, mainly based on the design by Ludwig Pichler.
