The municipality of Tulln is located in Tullnerfeld, which borders the Vienna Woods to the south and Wagram to the north. The area of ​​the municipality has an area of ​​72 km² and stretches on both sides of the Danube, which flows through this area for about five kilometers. The built-up part of the city lies mainly south of the Danube. The city borders two streams. Große Tulln flows into the Danube branch to the west and Kleine Tulln to the east. The city is located at an altitude of 180 m above sea level. The area surrounding the city, like the entire Tullnerfeld, is completely flat, with only slight undulations where the arms of the Danube have pushed into the land. Tulln is about 40 kilometres from the state capital of Vienna.
Tulln is one of the oldest cities in Austria. The name of the town is said to come from a Celtic language, but this theory cannot be confirmed. Settled in pre-Roman times, in the first half of the first century AD it became the Roman horse fort of Comagena, or Comagenis, and also the base of the Roman flotilla on the Danube. From the last years of Roman rule, there are reports of a visit by St. Severinus and the miraculous rescue of the city from the barbarians.
After the Nibelungenlied, the Hun king Etzel received Siegfried's widow Kriemhilde in Tulln, to whom a monument in the form of a fountain was dedicated in 2005. Tulln as a city (Comagenis civitas) was already mentioned in the late 8th century. After the final conquest of the Avar Empire by the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne in 803, security and settlement began in the former Roman horse fort. The resulting site was now in the Bavarian Eastland. [3] Tulln was first mentioned in 859 in a document called Tullina. In the Carolingian period, the court and seat of Count Ratpot, Tulln gained great importance as a residence and trade center on the Danube during the Babenberg margraves, which is why it was called the capital of the country. In gratitude for the victory over the Bohemian King Ottokar and for saving him from the danger of death, in which his son Albrecht von Löwenstein-Schenkenberg took part, Rudolf I of Habsburg founded the Dominican monastery in Tulln on 31 August 1280 [4], which is no longer preserved today. It remained his only monastic foundation. On 11 November 1301, the benefactor Schenkenberg (see ruins of Schenkenberg Castle, canton of Aargau, Switzerland) donated a farm and accessories in Tulln to the monastery for the benefit of her deceased husband Wilhelm, her daughter Agnes and granddaughter Gertrud. Tulln lost its importance as a result of the prosperity of Vienna and a series of strong pressures (the invasion of the Danube, the transfer of trade routes, serious fires, military oppression, Turkish invasions, the Thirty Years' War, the French invasion). In 1683, Tulln served as a rallying point for the relief army of the Holy Roman Empire before the Battle of Kahlenberg during the second Turkish siege of Vienna.
The city walls were dismantled in 1861. Tulln became the seat of the district government in 1892.
A new boom occurred in the 19th century (Danube bridge, construction of the Franz Josef Railway, district administration) and the 20th century (schools: first high school in 1931, industry: sugar factory in 1936). In 1986, Tulln applied to become the state capital, but St. Pölten was chosen.
