history

The castle was probably built at the beginning of the 12th century by the lords of Laubenberg , who were servants of the Augsburg bishopric , and indirectly mentioned in 1165 with Erpus von Laubenberg and 1268 with Konrad von Laubenberg . The lords of Laubenberg were also ministerials of the Augsburg bishops at Laubenbergerstein Castle and as feudal men of the Counts of Montfort at Rauhlaubenberg Castle . The line of the lords from Laubenberg to Laubenstein died out in 1442, their heirs were the Laubenberg von Laubenberg-Stein line.

After the Alt-Laubenberg Castle was destroyed by fire in 1468 and rebuilt in 1469, the castle was destroyed by insurgents in the German Peasants' War in 1525 . In 1636 this line of Laubenberger died out, heirs were the barons Pappus von Trazberg.

Alt-Laubenberg Castle burned down in 1719 after a lightning strike and was not rebuilt as a result. In 1801 stones were broken from the ruins for the burnt down tavern in neighboring Schönau . In 1806 the castle ruins came to Bavaria, in 1892 they came to the barons of Nostitz.

Remnants of the wall of the former castle are still preserved.
