history

In ancient times, the area was part of the Noricum province and the location of the Augustianis equestrian fort . Traismauer was first mentioned in a document in 799 as Tresma . After the conquest of the Avars Empire by Emperor Charlemagne , the place in the new Bavarian Ostland became the seat of the border count Cadaloc , who fell in the course of the last battles against the Avars in 802 at Castell Guntio. Count Cadaloc was buried in St. Ruprecht's Church in Traismauer. In 833 the Slav prince Pribina was baptized in the village . During this time, Traismauer was the center of the Carolingian county between Enns and the Vienna Woods and the seat of civil and ecclesiastical administration. On November 20, 860, the place came to the Archbishopric of Salzburg through a large land donation from King Ludwig the German , where Traismauer remained until 1803.

According to the Nibelungen saga, the king's daughter Kriemhild stayed there before she met King Etzel . Margrave Rüdiger von Traismauer, whose year of death is given in the death book of the parish of St. Andrä an der Traisen as 1203, was the historical model for Margrave Rüdiger von Bechelaren in the Nibelungenlied. The (considered) poet of the Nibelungen epic, Konrad von Fußesbrunnen ( Feuersbrunn ), created a literary monument to his personal friend. Around 1250, during the interregnum , Traismauer was heavily devastated by robber barons. In 1458 the place of Emperor Friedrich III. Market rights were granted, in 1517 the market was given the coat of arms by Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach . In the 16th century Traismauer had its own jurisdiction. The first school building was completed in 1555. Around 1810 the final version of the Traismaurer Nativity Play was created by the Scheibl family. In 1868, Franz Matthias Miller expanded a mill into a steelworks, and further industrial plants were founded. In 1885 the Tulln - St.Pölten railway line on Traismauer was opened. The town was raised in 1958.

In Traismauer they took emergency quarters together in the Hofkirchner inn (today Gasthof zum Schwan). In his memoirs he wrote, "I was a National Guard in 1848, but very soon I went to Traismauer, where my people lived".
