A very beautiful monument with an interesting history and a fountain worth seeing. The Nibelungen Monument in Tulln on the Danube commemorates the legendary arrival of Kriemhild in Tulln, as described in the Nibelungenlied. According to legend, Kriemhild met King Etzel here before marrying him.

The monument consists of a striking bronze group showing Kriemhild and Etzel. Created by the sculptor Michail Nogin, it was unveiled in 2005 and is located near the banks of the Danube, not far from the boat dock. It is part of the tourist Nibelungen theme route, which runs through several places along the Danube.

In the Nibelungenlied, a Middle High German heroic epic from the 13th century, Kriemhild travels east after the murder of her first husband Siegfried of Worms. In Tulln she meets King Etzel (Attila, ruler of the Huns), whom she later marries to complete her revenge on the Burgundians. This section of the saga underlines the historical influence of the Huns on Central European history.

The Nibelungen Monument or Nibelungen Fountain is a representation of the scene "Meeting of Kriemhild, the Burgundian Queen, and the Hun King Etzel in Tulln" in the form of a bronze sculpture documentation, created by the sculptor Michail Nogin.

The reception of Kriemhild as the bride by Etzel in Tulln was a peaceful celebration that is today seen as a symbol of the cultural encounter between the East and the West, between East and West. The Nibelungen Fountain is thus a memorial to one of the historical locations of the Nibelung Song and documents Tulln's historic past as well as the connection between the individual Danube regions.

Be sure to take a break and enjoy the water feature with Brunhilde and Attila. If your water bottle runs out, there's also a coffee available at the kiosk.
