Ansfelden is a town in Upper Austria, Austria, located 289 metres above sea level, with a population of about 15300. The rivers Traun and Krems run through the municipality. The town is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of the composer and organist Anton Bruckner.
Ansfelden has two museums, the Anton Bruckner Museum and a museum of musical instruments.
In the town's coat of arms, granted on October 28, 1985, the wavy stripe represents the rivers[citation needed]; the organ pipes, Anton Bruckner; and the cog-wheel, the town's paper-mills and other industries.
Between 1945 and 1964 the DP Camp Haid was located in the district Haid.
