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 Nibelung Monument in Tulln, also known as the Nibelung Fountain, commemorates a scene from the medieval epic "Nibelungenlied": the festive reception of the Burgundian princess Kriemhild by the Hunnic king Etzel in Tulln. The monument features life-size bronze figures of the central characters of this scene, including Kriemhild with her retinue and Etzel with his companions, symbolically complemented by a child as a sign of their future union. Beneath the figures is an artfully designed fountain, whose jets appear to rise from an open book, the Nibelungenlied itself. The interplay of water and light creates a unique atmosphere that symbolizes the connection between East and West. The monument was inaugurated in 2005, and the surrounding square, Nibelungenplatz, was redesigned as an inviting public space. The Nibelung Monument blends medieval legend with contemporary art and stands as an impressive testament to history, legend, and urban design.
