A Salzburg enclave inside Bavaria on the Inn and the road to Regensburg, first named in 935.
On 21 September 1190 Henry VI granted Adalbert III a salt staple here, and in the same year the place is first called walled. It is a market town in all but name: the title 'town' appears in the 13th century (first dated 1281).

Where the sources disagree
Evidence: Dated grant of 1190 (de.wikipedia, Mühldorf am Inn); the enclave's extent is approximate.
