history

In the 12th century, the noble free Dietmar von Dornberg built a castle on a mountain cone of the "Dornberg" to protect the trade route to Landshut , which led over the Inn bridges to Mühldorf and Neuötting in the south. This also affected the Lower Salt Road from Reichenhall to Landshut and the Nuremberg trade in Venice .

In 1223, Count Eberhard von Dornberg, the last of his line, sold the castle with possessions and servants to the Archbishop of Salzburg . After she was highly competitive in the 14th century because of the power rivalry between the Lower Bavarian dukes and the Salzburg archbishops, they had 1333 of the Salzburg Archbishop grind leave. Bavarian troops occupied the castle shortly afterwards and it was rebuilt on behalf of the duke. Only 19 years later, Salzburg's Archbishop Ortolf von Weißeneck demanded that the Bavarian duke be razed. But already in 1357, just five years later, Ekkehard von Tann rebuilt Dornberg Castle.

Dornberg coat of arms

In 1723 the castle was called a "bricked, two-tiered castle" and belonged to the Trenbecken around 1400, to the Dachsbergers from 1564, to the Tauffkirchen zu Guttenburg from 1697 until it was demolished around 1810.

Many independent stories point to a fight on the Erhartinger Meadows and thus also a participation of the castle in the Battle of Mühldorf , often also called the Battle of Ampfing , where on September 28, 1322 the Wittelsbacher Ludwig IV the Bavarian took over the Habsburg Frederick the Beautiful defeated. After the end of the battle, Friedrich was first brought to Dornberg Castle and later to Trausnitz Castle .
