The bishop of Passau's town on the right bank of the Danube opposite Krems and Stein, the Roman Favianis, called 'civitas' as early as 899 and a trading station in the Raffelstetten toll ordinance of 903.
Passau has held it since 985 or 991. Here in 1137 Bishop Reginmar and Margrave Leopold IV made the exchange that let St. Stephen's in Vienna be built. No bridge to Stein yet (1463).
