The town Tittmoning is located with the castle and historic old town on the western high bank of the Salzach in Rupertiwinkel in Upper Bavaria and right on the border too Austria. The town square with the facades in the Inn-Salzach style is considered the largest of its kind.
background
Tittmoning was first mentioned in a document in 788 as "Titamanninga". 1234 is the date of the town elevation and from 1234 the castle is also expanded by the Archbishop of Salzbug Eberhard II as a border fortification against the enemy of Bavaria.
In the period that followed, Tittmoning experienced a long-lasting economic boom under the Salzburg archbishops as a trading and handicraft center, toll station, administrative center and later also as a hunting residence. Trade and shipping on the Salzach did not have the same importance here as in the neighboring towns of Laufen and Burghausen.
The most important person in the medieval city life of Tittmoning was the city judge appointed by the Salzburg archbishop, who monitored the two mayors and the eleven councilors from the town hall.
In 1571 Tittmoning was devastated by a devastating city fire.
From the late Middle Ages onwards, metalworking became important in the place, in the 16th century the cloth making trade was added, and in the Baroque period the arts and crafts emerged.
As a result of the secularization in Salzburg, the Rupertiwinkel with the place Tittmoning came provisionally from 1810 and then finally from 1816 to Bavaria. Tittmoning gets into the Bavarian outskirts and loses its economic importance.
The first bridge over the Salzach was built in 1842 and replaced by a new one in 1933.
In 1862 the district court was dissolved and the district of Laufen was created, which included the entire Rupertiwinkel as an administrative unit. In the course of the Bavarian regional reform, the district of Laufen was dissolved in 1972 and the northern part came with the town of Tittmoning to the district of Traunstein.
The towns of Ästen, Kay, Kirchheim and Törring still belong to the political municipality of Titmoning.
In addition to tourism, the pharmaceutical industry and a rubber factory are also of economic importance.
The old town is also known nationwide as a film set for the television series, which was filmed from 1968 to 1970 and has been repeated on many channels since then "Royal Bavarian District Court": The outdoor scenes of the fictional and dreamy Bavarian town of Geisbach during the Prince Regent's time in 1912 were shown in Tittmoning and in To run rotated, the town hall portal of Tittmoning was redecorated as the entrance to the "Royal Bavarian District Court".
The most famous resident of Tittmoning was Pope Benedict XVI: Joseph Ratzinger and his family lived in the village from 1929 to 1932 and also went to kindergarten here. Pope Benedict XVI has been an honorary citizen of Tittmoning since January 24, 2007.

Tittmoning Castle

From 1420, through reconstruction and extensions, today's castle complex was created as a bulwark for the Salzburg bishops against "hostile" Bavaria on the important Salzach trade route.
After suffering siege damage, the castle was converted into the hunting lodge of the Salzburg archbishops from 1614, the facility was no longer able to cope with the modern artillery of the time.
