history

Tulln is one of the oldest cities in Austria . The name Tulln is said to come from the Celtic, but this theory cannot be confirmed. Settled in pre-Roman times, it became the Roman riding fort Comagena , or Comagenis, also a base of the Roman Danube flotilla in the first half of the first century after Christ . In the last years of Roman rule there are reports of a visit by St. Severin and the wonderful rescue of the city from the barbarians .

After the song of the Nibelungs , the king of the Huns received Etzel Siegfried's widow Kriemhilde in Tulln , an event to which a memorial in the form of a fountain was dedicated in 2005 . Already at the end of the 8th century Tulln was named as a city (Comagenis civitas). After the final conquest of the Avar Empire by the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne in 803, the securing and settlement of the former Roman cavalry fort began. The resulting place was now in the area of ​​the Baierischen Ostland . In 859 Tulln was first mentioned in a document with the name Tullina . During the Carolingian era, the court and seat of Count Ratpot , Tulln gained great importance as a residence and trading center on the Danube during the time of the Babenberg margraves , so that it was designated as the capital of the country. In gratitude for his victory over the Bohemian King Ottokar and the rescue from danger of death, in which his son Albrecht von Löwenstein-Schenkenberg had participated, Rudolf I of Habsburg donated the Dominican convent Tulln, which is no longer preserved, on August 31, 1280 . It remained his only monastery foundation. On November 11, 1301, the Schenkenberg giver (see Schenkenberg Castle ruins, Canton Aargau , Switzerland) gave the monastery a courtyard and accessories in Tulln for the salvation of her late husband Wilhelm, her daughter Agnes and granddaughter Gertrud. Tulln lost its primacy through the upswing in Vienna and a series of heavy burdens (encroachment of the Danube, relocation of trade routes, large fires, armed tribulations, Turkish invasions, Thirty Years War , French invasion ). In 1683, Tulln served as a meeting point for the relief army of the Holy Roman Empire before the battle of the Kahlenberg during the Second Turkish siege of Vienna .

A new upswing began in the 19th century ( Danube bridge , construction of the Franz-Josefs-Bahn , district administration ) and in the 20th century (schools, industry). In 1986 Tulln applied for the state capital, but St. Pölten was selected.
