history
A Carolingian palace, namely the royal court Atarhova , can be assumed as the predecessor of Attersee Castle . This was on what is still called the “Schlossberg” parcel today. Count Dietrich Alterhofen and his son Gundacker are mentioned here in 823. Around 1000 the Attersee property came to the Archdiocese of Salzburg , whereby the Aribones , of whom Count Engelbert, Pilgrim and Gebhard are known, are named as fiefs. Then the Carolingian Palatinate passed to the grandson of the East Franconian King Ludwig , Luitpold the Aribone. His daughter Judith got the rule of Attersee as marriage property with Heinrich, the brother of the German king Otto . As a result, Emperor Heinrich II inherited this property from the Ottonian family . It is assumed that this complex served as a defense structure for the Attersee Castle, which was built not far from it, for a long time.
Aterhofen Castle was built in 1007 not far from the Royal Palatinate by Bishop Eberhard I of the Bamberg Monastery on the Kirchberg, after major areas of the Attergau had been ceded to the diocese by Emperor Heinrich II as a foundation for the construction of the Bamberg Cathedral . At first the castle was administered by the Bamberg ministerial family of the Attersee-Wasen. Its members often carried the baptismal name Engelschalk. From 1035 these were called de Atersee or de Atergowe , then from 1150 to 1183 de Wasen . The family owned property in Chiemgau and Ennstal and also held fiefs of the Archdiocese of Salzburg. A Rudolf von Attersee attests to a donation from Countess Ita von Burghausen around 1138. In 1249 a Rudelin von Attersee is mentioned as a witness about the Vogtei Frankenburg. An Alramus from Attersee made a foundation to Wilhering Abbey in 1285 . In 1290 the Schaunbergers , who also owned the fortress Frankenburg , were pledges of Attersee. Heinrich and Wernhard von Schaunburg signed a bailiff contract over Attersee with Bishop Arnold . 1327 the Bamberg bishops had repaid their debts and could when the castle Attersee to Heinrich von Hohenlohe and his wife Elspet jointure passed. In 1332 the lordship of Attersee was given to Hans Kuchler, captain of Salzburg, as a pledge. In 1359 Werner and his sons Ulrich and Heinrich von Schaunburg signed a loan agreement with the Bamberg Bishop Lupold von Bebenburg in order to get Attersee as a pledge.
In 1377 Duke Albrecht III bought. from Austria the rule of Attersee (the purchase only came into effect on July 25, 1379 due to a legal dispute with the Schaunbergers) from Prince-Bishop Lamprecht von Brunn . Duke Albrecht pledged this to Heinrich VI in the same year . from Walsee .
In 1464, the administrative seat of the Attergau was relocated to Kogl Castle for defense reasons and Attersee Castle began to fall into disrepair. In 1570 the official house of Attersee was already inherited ("Erasmus Segner on the Ambthaus hofstat"), 1581 is reported: "To Attersee ain old Purkstall, where the castle stood in front of it".
At the end of the 18th century, the first elementary school (today Heimathaus) in Attersee was built on the ruins of the castle, whereby the curved shape of the facade of the building is attributed to the use of medieval foundations.
