history

As early as 1080 Heinrich von Hofendorf was named as the master of Schaumburg.

In the 12th century, the mountain peaks on which the Schaumburg, the neighboring Neudeck castle stalls and the Wolfstein ruins are located were the seat of the noble family de Scovenburg . This probably means the county of Schaunberg with Schaunberg Castle as the headquarters. The Lords of Schaumburg were related to the Roninger family and had connections to Wolnzach . They also called themselves "von Winklsass". A book of donations from the Obermünster Abbey shows that Heinrich von Schaumburg ("Heinricus de Schawenberg"), the son of Henricus de Scovenburg, received the castle and his brother Ulrich got the neighboring Wolfstein. Both held the office of bailiff in the monastery of Sankt Emmeram from 1110 to 1141 . Another Schaumburger is named as a defensor in the service of the Bishop of Strasbourg .

With the inheritance of the Schaumburgs, the castle and Wolfstein also came to the Wittelsbachers around 1170 , while Neudeck was still in the possession of Hohold von Schaumburg-Neudeck-Winklsass († 1260). The Wittelsbachers did not use the castle and it fell into disrepair after 1183. The property was then used as a brick quarry for the local population.

Remarks

  1. Henricus († 1187) named himself de Scovenburg from 1161 and came from the line of the nobles of Julbach-Schaunberg , from which the Counts of Schaunberg are derived (see Commission for the publication of Bavarian and German source writings: Sources and discussions on Bavarian history , Volume 1, Verlag Georg Franz, Munich 1856, p. 184). There was also a Henricus de Scovenburg, who founded the noble family of the Schauenburger and was first mentioned in a document in 1108. Ultimately, the genealogy of the noble family de Scovenburg and its connection with the Austrian Schaunbergers , the Schauenburgers or other noble families with similar names, such as the County of Schauenburg , has not been clearly researched (see Franz C. Höger: Einöde Wolfstein bei Landshut: Conradins, the last Hohenstaufen, place of birth , Thomann, Landshut 1872, p. 24).
