Schaunberg was the name of a county in the (arch) duchy of Austria above the Enns in the Hausruckviertel , where the ancestral castle, today's ruins of Schaunburg in Hartkirchen, is located.

The Schaunbergers, who descended from the highly liberal lords of Julbach (am Inn), received the toll to Aschach an der Donau from Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in the middle of the 12th century as a lucrative imperial fief and just a few years later Heinricus de Scovenberch established them (as documented in 1160) Not far from Aschach, a castle that became the eponymous center of the territory that the Schaunbergers created with the help of high jurisdiction, bailiwick (for example via the Cistercian monastery Wilhering ) and church patronage in the course of the 13th century, essentially between Kürnberg and Sauwald as well as the Danube and Hausruck . The Schaunbergers mentioned in a document as early as 1316 spoke of this territory as "terra nostra"; it was a county with its own land law and a special position in the Duchy of Austria above the Enns. The city of Eferding , which the Schaunbergers bought from the Bishop of Passau in 1367, enjoyed significant growth under their rule.

In 1380 Duke Albrecht III decided. of Austria to put an end to the Schaunberger's striving for an independent country. In the Schaunberg feud (1380-1390) he occupied all of their Danube castles and also the city of Eferding ; the castle Schaubergwerk but he besieged in vain. Heinrich von Schaunberg had to submit and take his possessions from Austria as a fief. This defeat was sealed with a series of treaties, including the arbitration award of February 28, 1383 by a court of imperial princes. In 1388, however, Count Heinrich felt strong enough to rebel against Habsburg; after changing successes, he finally submitted and in 1390 had to finally swear primal feud to the duke .

The Schaunbergers were able to maintain a certain special position for about a century. Among other things, Friedrich V. von Schaunberg was Archbishop of Salzburg from 1489–1494. Only under the emperors Friedrich III. and Maximilian I succeeded the Habsburgs in finally curtailing the Schaunberg special rights; In 1548 the Schaunbergers, who became Lutheran during the Reformation, lost their imperial estate , in 1559 they died out with Count Wolfgang von Schaunberg and were inherited by the Starhembergers through his sister Anna .

The term Landl is derived from the Schaunberger county , which was the name for today's Hausruckviertel until the 18th century.

Family list of the Counts of Schaunberg (from 1382)

The Counts of Schaunberg are derived from the nobles of Julbach . These were called von Schaunburg ( Henricus comes de Scounberch ) since Heinrich IV. (1316 ). Due to the increase in their goods in what is now the Innviertel, the Julbach-Schaunbergers relocated their headquarters to the Schaunburg . In 1382, Count Heinrich von Schaunberg sold the pledged festivals and rule Julbach , the ancestral seat, to the Wittelsbach family , from when the family is only mentioned by Schaunburg .
