Mautern an der Donau is a town in the district of Krems-Land in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. It is a municipality with about 3.500 inhabitants, situated northerly the Danube. In former times ships cruised the Danube, when they passed Mautern they had to pay a toll. The town got its name from there because toll means "Maut" in German. Before it has got this name it had been called Favianis by the Romans (because it was a very important fort).
