Edtburg
The lost Edtburg was in the municipality of Taxenbach in the Zell am See district of Salzburg . The Edter Schlossberg rises 70 m above the Salzach Valley , from where both the Salzach and the path leading past it with the transition to the Rauriser Ache towards Embach (municipality of Lend) could be secured.
history
963 the noble woman Rosmout was a Hube in Taxenbach together with the forest on the left Salzachufer of Erlbach to Dienten and on the right of Fusch to the mouth of the Gastein Ache of Archbishop Friedrich . This area was the area of the later Taxenbach District Court.
In the second half of the 12th century, Chonradus and Arnoldus de Taxenbach are named as witnesses in a document, probably Burgmannen on the Edtburg. After Archbishop Eberhard II was enfeoffed with the Pinzgau in 1228, the Taxenbach district court is mentioned in 1231, which the brothers During and Ortolf von Steveningen held twice. In the second half of the 13th century, the Goldeggers were enfeoffed with the court in Taxenbach. In 1293 Archbishop Konrad confirmed that Otto von Goldegg had given his wife Elisabeth von Stubenberg a. a. Edtlehen and zu Taxenbach have signed the castle as a morning gift .
Archbishop Weichart bought the castle and court of Taxenbach from Wulfing von Goldegg in 1314 with the consent of his wife Margarethe for an initial four years, after which the Goldeggers should be able to buy back the Edburg or it would fall forever to the archbishopric. The Goldeggers had sided with Duke Ludwig of Bavaria in the German throne controversy , while Archbishop Friedrich supported the pretender to the throne Friedrich the Beautiful of Austria. The Goldegg had become opponents of the archbishop. This led to the destruction of Edtburg by Archbishop Friedrich's troops. In 1323, Wulfing von Goldegg sold "the new and daz old Purchstal and court of Tachsenbach" , which he and his ancestors held as a fiefdom of the archbishopric, to Archbishop Friedrich. At the same time, he waived compensation for his destroyed castle and any objection to a new castle to be built, regardless of whether the archbishop had the right to do so or not. This ends the history of Edtburg.
Remains of the Edtburg today
