What secrets does a name hold? Tullnerbach, a charming Marktgemeinde nestled in the Vienna Woods of Lower Austria, whispers tales of history and innovation. The name itself, first recorded in 1565, speaks of the Tullnerbach stream that flows through the area, a tributary of the Wien River. This picturesque waterway played a crucial role in Tullnerbach’s story, shaping its growth and witnessing grand ambitions. Before the allure of summer retreats drew Viennese crowds, Tullnerbach existed as humble logging settlements. The names Lawies, Unter-Tullnerbach, and Irenental, each a distinct part of this community, hold echoes of those early days. Today, Tullnerbach is a haven for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The scars of the past are etched in the ruins of Sancta Maria in Paradyso, a Franciscan monastery destroyed during the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1529. But Tullnerbach also bears witness to the daring spirit of progress, embodied in the tale of Wilhelm Kress. In 1901, Kress chose the tranquil Wienerwaldsee, nestled between Lawies and Unter-Tullnerbach, to attempt the first motorized seaplane flight in Austria. Though his endeavor ended in a watery plunge, the legacy of his innovative spirit lives on in the town’s coat of arms, a proud testament to Tullnerbach’s embrace of progress and its enduring connection to the waters that have shaped its story.
