Waldzell is a municipality in the district of Ried im Innkreis in Upper Austria, Austria.
Waldzell is also the fictional location of the most elite college of savants in Hermann Hesse's classic novel The Glass Bead Game, though the Waldzell Institute suggests that Hesse's Waldzell was actually based upon Maulbronn Abbey.[2]
