Tittmoning, Medieval town with fortress in Traunstein, Germany.

Tittmoning sits on the banks of the Salzach River at 388 meters elevation, forming a natural border between Germany and Austria.

The settlement, originally named Titamanninga, began around 790 AD as a property of St Peter's Abbey in Salzburg, developing into a strategic border location.

The town maintains its Bavarian character through local festivals, medieval tournaments, and jousting events that take place at the end of May.

The municipality covers 72 square kilometers, operates under postal code 84529, and connects to neighboring Ostermiething in Austria via a river bridge.

Future Pope Benedict XVI, born Joseph Ratzinger, resided in Tittmoning from July 1929 to December 1932 during his childhood years.
