 The area around Matzenbach was settled by people in prehistoric times and also in Gallo-Roman times, bearing witness to which are the extensive archaeological finds right near the village and also farther afield.Particularly worthy of mention are the rich Gallo-Roman finds at the Potzberg near Mühlbach and within neighbouring Gimsbach's limits (see below), and also finds unearthed near Glan-Münchweiler.There are, however, no reports of any archaeological finds within Matzenbach's limits.
