The robbers were an old Croatian aristocratic family that also settled in Lower Austria in the 14th century . Leonhart von Rauber and his brother Nicolaus were raised to the baron status by Emperor Maximilian I in 1516 with the title of Baron von Plankenstein and Carlstetten , and in 1681 to the hereditary-Austrian baron status.

history

The family is said to have originally been called Engelschalk , they supposedly had the right to rob and plunder with impunity during the Carinthian duke's act of homage and lending . The trunk series begins around 1370 with Matthäus Rauber. In 1433 Friedrich Rauber was enfeoffed by Count Hermann von Cilli with Weineck and Plankenstein .

Leonhart von Rauber, secret councilor and Obersthofmarschall, and his brother Nicolaus were elevated to the baron status by Emperor Maximilian I on December 24, 1516 with the title of Baron von Plankenstein and Carlstetten . The Transylvanian lines existed the longest, the Carniolan, Styrian and Austrian lines extinguished before 1850.
