The castle Einburg sometimes, Einberg called, is an Outbound hilltop castle in the same district of the municipality today Raab in the district of Schärding in Upper Austria .
history
The Einburg (Einberg) was on a hill dominating the Pram . A Waldecker is mentioned as the first owner in 1120. In 1150 a Meingoz von Einberg gave a farm to the Reichersberg monastery . With an inheritance contract dated May 1, 1300 between the Wesners Hadmar and Erchanger on the one hand and their nephews, the brothers Ortolf, Hadmar and Megingoz von Waldeck, on the other hand, Raab Castle and Hofmark fell to the latter, who were then based in the Einburg. The Waldecker united both possessions into a single rule. Since Einburg was a Passau fief, the Hofmark Raab was also regarded as a Passau fief after the Waldeckers died out on Einburg.
In 1390 the castle came to the Traun family . Wolfgang von Traun sold Einburg's inheritance rights to Peter von Ritzing in 1419. 1486–1492 Einburg was owned by Michael von Traun; his descendants lived here until 1582. From Herzelaut von Traun, the property that was united with Raab came to Veit II von Tattenbach in 1584 . The Tattenbachs, who had their headquarters in St. Martin , united the rule of Raab, to which that of Einburg also came, with St. Martin to form a Fideikommiss . His son Hans Ardolf succeeded him in 1596 after his father drowned on his way back from the Holy Land when the ship "Nauen" sank off Constantinople . Hans Ardolf himself († 1647) had no descendants and so the property came to his nephew Gottfried Wilhelm von Tattenbach († 1687). The last of the Tattenbach-Rheinstein family was Heinrich Christian Joseph Ignaz († 1821); he was also childless and bequeathed his entire property to his cousin Count Maximilian von and zu Arco-Valley. Until 1848 part of today's Raab belonged to Einburg, another part to Raab Castle.

Einburg today
As early as 1704 Einburg was exposed to decay because it was no longer inhabited. In the place of the former castle there is a farm with the house name Schlossbauer. Some of the trenches are still visible. The farm that rises on the core plant is currently in a ruinous state. The outbuildings have already been demolished and the residential building will follow soon.
