Today, Pöchlarn is an exciting mix of a highly modern logistics center on the Danube and a town that traces its roots back to Roman times. Long before the Nibelungs passed through the town, Pöchlarn was an important Roman base called Arelape. It was a fort directly on the Danube Limes. A part of the Roman Danube fleet was stationed here. During excavations in the town area (especially in the area of the church), ancient finds have been made again and again, proving how strategically important this place was even 2,000 years ago.

Pöchlarn is a town with an extremely deep history that goes far beyond the townscape of today. It is located in the Melk district on the southern bank of the Danube and is often referred to as the "Nibelungen City". Pöchlarn is inextricably linked to the Nibelungenlied, the famous medieval epic. In the city center you will find the modern Nibelungen monument with the coats of arms of the cities that appear in the epic. It is a must for a photo when you are in town.
