Gottfried III. was the son and nephew of the first two burgraves, his father Gottfried II von Raabs and his brother Konrad I von Raabs . Although these two had practically exercised the burgrave office since around 1105, Gottfried III. 1154 expressly designated for the first time with the corresponding title burggravius de Norinberg . His successor as burgrave was his cousin Konrad II of Raabs , with whom the male line of the Counts of Raabs died out around 1191/1192.
