The oldest historical mention of Tribuswinkel is from the 12th century with a mention of "Jubort de Tribanswinchele" in 1136 in the founding charter of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey.
In 1251, a watermill, running along the Badener Mühlbach (mill river) is mentioned and from the middle ages up until the 19th century, there were at least 4 mills in Tribuswinkel.[4]
1359, Wolfgang von Winden bought the town of Tribuswinkel. The family von Winden owned Tribuswinkel until 1516. In 1365, Wolfgang von Winden commissioned the construction of a small church and the parish of Tribuswinkel was founded in 1368.
Following the death of the Family von Winden, in 1590, the viennese businessman Georg Federl bought Tribuswinkel.
Since the 16th century, a sheep farm was settled on the outskirts of Tribuswinkel, which carries its name to this day, the Schafflerhof-Siedling, translating into sheep farm settlement. It is said that around 1,000 sheep were kept in the settlement.
A series of fires in the 19th century gave rise to the foundation of the voluntary fire brigade of Tribuswinkel.
Following the end of the Second World War in 1945, soviet troops formed the first provisional town government with Karl Bartmann as the new town mayor.[5]
Castle of Tribuswinkel
The founding is dated 1136, but earlier resourcers refer to 1120.
The weir would probably have been built as surrounding water castle around 1120-1230. The wall surrounding the castle and the moult do not existing anymore.
Today, the castle is owned by the municipality of Traiskirchen and is used as a bed and breakfast and a Heuriger.[6]
Parish church Tribuswinkel
The roman-catholic parish church was built between 1730 and 1732, following plans by the architect Anton Erhard Martinelli. Originally the roof was an onion dome, but following a fire in 1879, was replaced by a pyramid roof. As a historic building, the building is protected as a cultural heritage site.[7] The church is under the patronage of Wolfgang of Regensburg.

Traffic
Tribuswinkel sits alongside highway A2, the Süd Autobahn at the exit Baden. The Triester Straße also runs along the town and was one of the historically most important cities connecting Vienna to the north of Italy.
Tribuswinkel also has a rail connection to Vienna on the Badener Bahn.
Local businesses
In the turn of the 19th century, the town transformed from that of a pure farming town, to that of industry. In 1909, the company Scheuble und Hofstätter built a chemical-pharmaceutical factory along the Wiener Neustadt Canal that runs along the town. During the First World War, the factory was used to produce jam and following the end of the war, was converted to produce textiles.[8]
In 1950, in the south of Tribuswinkel, the EVN Group built a bioenergy plant.
