In 1364, Heinrich and Duke Albrecht von Straubing-Holland besieged the town of Schärding, which had been pledged to Austria since 1356, but without success. In the same year between 400 and 500 Schärdinger citizens in the Neukirchen am Inn area invaded the Bavarian duchy. Heinrich faced the attackers with 46 men at Königseck (Königsdobl) and successfully routed the Schärdinger.

Two years later, on June 24, 1368, Heinrich received the order from Count Leopold von Hals to build a castle in the Bavarian forest.
