Town · Duchy of Austria · as at first light, 1 January 1200

Korneuburg

The market half of Neuburg on the north bank of the Danube, a small trading place called 'novum forum' about 1114, joined to Klosterneuburg across the river by a ferry.

Not a separate town: it is moved inland and refounded round a large square about 1200 or after the flood of 1210, and separated from Klosterneuburg only about 1298.
