    Sachsenturm with chapel of reconciliation. Already more than 1200 years ago there was a village settlement in the area of today's Trausnitz.
    Because of the danger of raids by the predatory Avars, a horsemen from the east, the villagers of what was then probably known as "Sessenkirchen" or "Saechsenkirchen" built the village in the 8th century (around 794) under Charlemagne, who is still in the Defense tower preserved in the center of the village.
