!!!Raffelstettener Zollordnung

Raffelstetten Customs Regulations (Raffelstettener Zollordnung), 
between 903 and 905 a meeting (Taiding) took place in Raffelstetten 
(in the municipality of Asten, Upper Austria) situated between Linz 
and Enns, presided over by Margrave  Aribo. In the course of this 
meeting 41 nobles were made to testify about the customs duties 
delivered for trade on the River Danube in the territory of the Tres 
Comitatus ("Dreigrafschaften") stretching from the Passauer Wald 
Area to the Vienna Woods. The easternmost customs stations were at 
Rosdorf (exact location unknown, in the Aschacher Becken basin), at 
Linz, near Enns, near the Rodl river and at Riedmark, on the Lower 
Austrian course of the Ybbs river and at Mautern; merchants were 
Bavarians, Slavs and Jews and they traded in slaves, cattle, salt, 
honey and wax.
