The Postal Schauberger is an Outbound hilltop castle in the town of Aschach an der Donau in Austria . It is located directly on the Altweg that leads from the Kaiser inn to Gschwendt.
history
The castle was built between 1380 and 1386. It lay on a protruding slope spur with the core work at the top, a main trench with a wall and a smaller trench and a rampart that stretched from the slope side to the slope side.
A castle as a non-masonry complex did not fall under the prince's approval requirement for the construction of castles, but it was clear that such a weir system could create a barrier across the Danube to Neuhaus Castle opposite , which the prince could not please. This led to the so-called second Schaunberg feud , in which the Schaunbergers ultimately succumbed and had to recognize the sovereign. In a contract dated September 4, 1386, Heinrich von Schaunberg grants the sovereign Duke Albrecht of Austria not to continue building the castle stables.
" We count Heinreich zu Schawnberg apparently with the letter vnd do chunt vmb the Purkstal located on the Newnhaws vber, because we had heard that we darvmb with the noble high-born prince duke Albrecht zu Austria ect. Our noble lords of the ainchomen, that we still inherit from ours nor someone from us because of daz fürbaz neither pause nor wake up, knowing that we have vowed to have consistently with ours. Sealed with vrkund ditz letter with our attached island, which is dedicated to the matter, which is given to Schawnbweg on the Eritag of our Frawen day when it was porn after Cristis purd drew ten hundred years afterwards in the six-roof-cig year. September 4, 1386. "
However, there is no evidence of whether the contract was kept.
Burgstall Schaunberg today
The substructure and ditches of the castle stables are still recognizable. There are two neck trenches carved out of the rock , the outer one being partially impaired when the path was widened. In the bottom of the inner ditch there is a strange elevation, possibly a seldom attested stumbling block. There is currently no monument protection for the object, which is particularly important from a historical point of view.
