History
The area around Winzendorf-Muthmannsdorf has been settled for at least 6000 years, as archaeological evidence shows. Finds in the western and northern parts of the New World date back to the Neolithic Age. The many caves in the limestone stock of the Hohe Wand as well as in the Fischau Foothills offered people a safe natural refuge. The Schwarzgraben cave near Maiersdorf is one of the best-known sites. In the Malleiten area (also Maleiten, Marleiten, Malleitenberg oder Mahleiten), about 7 km northeast in the Fischauer Vorberge near
A bull-killing relief from the middle of the 3rd century, which was found in Winzendorf around 1886, testifies to the Roman cult of Mithras in the area.[5] With the establishment of Christianity in the Roman Empire, this religion, practised only by men in mostly remote places such as caves, disappeared within a few generations. In addition to the relief slabs,[6] a limestone votivara dedicated to Mithras by a stable master of the 10th Legion was also found in a vineyard.[7]
There are no written documents up to the 12th century. Place, water names and settlement names show that Slavs and pre-Bavarian-Germanic tribes had settled in the area of the municipality of Winzendorf-Muthmannsdorf.
The first documentary mention of Muthmannsdorf dates from between 1107 and 1122. In the foundation charter for the parish of Waldegg, about 9 km away, a man named "Hiltegrunn de Mutinesdorf" appears as a witness in 1136. His official residence may have been the so-called "Burgstall" to the east in the forest above Muthmannsdorf.
The first documentary mention of Winzendorf dates from 1157 to 1163. It is found in a document with which the Bishop Conrad of Babenberg had settled the ownership of the vineyards on the occasion of a legal dispute.
It is known that in the 13th century the inhabitants of Muthmannsdorf were subjects of the Starhemberg dominion.
