Count of Schernberg
The Graf (f) von Schernberg were a noble family from Salzburg , which probably came from Carinthia .
In Latin documents the gender is mentioned as Comes de Schermberg , in the plural Comites de Schermberg . This fact has repeatedly led to the erroneous opinion that the Count (s) von Schernberg were actually counts .
Family history
The family, originally just called Graf , was first mentioned in 1193. In the 14th century they appear as rich ironworks in Pongau . In 1370 the head nurse Heinrich Graf acquired the rule of Schernberg and the corresponding title of nobility from Schernberg . Since then, the family has been called Graf von Schernberg , but was also called Graf von Radstadt (at that time Rastatt ) because the family inherited the care there for centuries. In 1620 the family was accepted into the Salzburg state estates . In addition to the Keutschachers , Lords of Graben and Stadl , the Count of Schernberg were also related to the Khevenhüller .
