history

The construction of the castle around 1196 is given to Archbishop Adalbert III. Attributed to Salzburg as a defense against Emperor Friedrich I. This is based on a misinterpretation in the Annales Sanct Rudperti , where the Hallburg near Reichenhall and not Halmberg Castle is meant. The construction of Halmberg Castle was justified with the increasing importance of the lower salt road from Waging to Altenmarkt. The upper salt road from Teisendorf to Hallabruck-Traunstein via the Lauter customs station was equally important .

Until the end of the 12th century, the Lords of Surberg resided in Lauter and the Surberg opposite . Siboto von Surberg bequeathed the town of Surberg and the festivals there to the Salzburg cathedral chapter . However, the widow of Siboto's brother, Dietmut von Högl, should still use it. She then married Konrad Truchtlachinger, since 1198 burgrave of Salzburg. After the death of his wife († 1213) he won the enfeoffment with the (already given away) goods in Surberg. As the owner of Surberg and Halmberg, Konrad controlled the traffic routes that led from Salzburg to the Chiemsee. Konrad came from the noble clan of the Lords of Truchtlaching, whose members became ministerials to Margrave Engelbert von Kraiburg in the middle of the 12th century . Other family members, including the aforementioned Konrad, became servants of the Salzburg Church.

In 1216, Halmberg Castle was first mentioned in a treaty by Archbishop Eberhard II as a location name ( iuxta castrum eius Haldenberch ). Presumably it was built by Konrad as steward of his wife Dietmund's estates. Before 1222 Konrad had the Neuenfels Castle built at the Schrannenort Holzhausen of the court. Halmberg Castle became the seat of the bailiff in succession to Surberg Castle . The Vogt von Halmberg became the patron of the trade route from Schönram and Petting via Holzhausen to Stein an der Traun . A customs duty is verifiable for Lauter and Altenmarkt. With the death of Konrad († 1225), at the latest in 1238, the castle finally fell to the archbishopric of Salzburg . Perhaps there was already a bailiff's seat there.

A “Hainricus Cellaer laicus de Haldenburch” can be identified as the keeper in the 13th century. In 1319 the keeper was called "Gabwein der Trauner", the castle had meanwhile become the seat of the care court. In 1459 the then cathedral provost Burkhard von Weißpriach was enfeoffed with Halmberg for life by Archbishop Sigismund I. von Volkersdorf . Burkhard, who in the meantime had become archbishop and cardinal himself, enfeoffed Sebastian von der Albm with Halmberg. Dompropst Christoph Ebran von Wildenberg replaced him in 1481 in care. During the Peasant Wars Jakob von Aham zu Wildenau was responsible there (1510–1530) and had to equip the castle accordingly. In 1530 Jacob's widow handed over the festivals and the court Halmberg to the keeper of Tettelham , Hans Münich zu Münichhausen. However, the keepers already had their residence at Gut Burgstall . After the court administration was moved to Tettelham (1530), Halmberg Castle fell into disrepair. In a Stochurbar from 1612 it says: “Before this (year) the castle stood on a round Püchl. But currently a desolate uninhabited place, the Gemeyr has all collapsed, the Stainwerch has been woken up by it, and such a place is all overgrown with hills and shrubs ”. At the end of the 18th century, only the place where an elevator bridge was over a 100-foot-deep moat was seen. Fragments of the wall could still be seen in 1870.

description

There is no view of the lost castle. A spacious castle area was not possible on the hilltop. Presumably there was a tower there, which was protected by a seven-meter-deep neck trench and two other five-meter-deep trenches.

From the former castle complex, which was described as a “truncated conical flattened complex with ramparts, ditches and outer bailey with ditch”, only ramparts and the neck ditch are preserved. The Burgstall is now a ground monument .
