    I get it! The following query works:<br>
    <br>
    SELECT gid FROM salzburg WHERE ST_Contains(the_geom,
    ST_PointFromText('POINT(1451405.4004687 6071678.9812547)', 900913));<br>
    <br>
    The problem was that point coordinates must be in meters (because of
    the google projection) and not in lat/lon values.<br>
    <br>
    Thank you so much for your help!<br>
