history

For the first time Dietmar, Wolfram and Albero are mentioned from the Ainoder family between 1150 and 1230. However, it is not certain whether this Pinzgau family can also be located here. In 1427 Hans Hunt von Dorf received the Einödberg fief from Archbishop Eberhard . His possessions are divided up after his death, with his son Wolfgang receiving Einödberg and Dorfheim from his second marriage. His son Peter († 1534) is the first to name von Einödberg and Dorfheim . This Peter Hunt is likely to have extended the original medieval residential tower to the west and provided it with four corner turrets. Peter Hunt was knighted by Emperor Charles V in 1530 . After him come his underage children, who are under the feudal rule of Wilhelm Graf von Schernberg . Of the children, the younger Karl Hunt came into possession of Einödberg in 1590. Since he died childless in 1630, his two nieces inherit the residence. Of these, Helena Margaret Hunt Wolf Dietrich von Welsperg nurses to Mauterndorf , married. This sells the property to Abraham Welser zu Labenbach.

The Welser were raised to the nobility in 1593 (Welser von Wagrain ). Abraham was followed in 1635 by his son Adam, who in 1644 succeeded in re-acquiring the goods that originally belonged to the castle. This Welser is now called von Einödberg . He is followed by his two sons Johann Franz and Johann Karl. After a comparison, Johann Franz Welser von Einödberg became the sole owner from 1659. He was followed in 1725 by his son Johann Melchior Welser von und zu Einödberg, a Salzburg chieftain . In 1729 his three children received the rule and wanted to sell them to the Archbishop of Salzburg. However, this refuses. In 1734 the property was bought by the caretaker of Windisch-Matrei , Wolf Adam Lasser von Zollheim. He passed it on to his son Wolf Adam Ignaz Lasser in 1771. He again sells the Einödberg, Grub and Ramseiden castles to Johann Jakob Waltenhofen, caretaker at St. Johann im Pongau . His heirs sell Einödberg to the farmer Vital Mayr.

After that a rapid change of ownership sets in, to be mentioned are: Josef Stachl (1796), his two daughters (1837), then the daughter Martha alone, married to Franz Lackner (1838), Marie Lackner (1858), through purchase to Nikolaus Mayrhofer ( 1868), Johann and Margarete Trauner (1871), Jakob Trauner (1882), Maria Harlander (1883), Johann Gasteiger (1887), Johann and Maria Huber (1896), Leonhard Freisinger (1897), Georg Schwabl and Josef Hutter each Half (1902), Lorenz Hutter (1903), Johann Grießer (1914), Karl Pühringer (1919), again Johann Grießer (1920), then his daughter Anna, married Innerhofer. This family still owns Einödberg Castle today.

Einödberg Castle today

In the west of the castle there is a medieval residential tower from the 13th century, which probably looked similar to the Felberturm or the Weyerturm . In the middle of the 16th century an annex was added to the tower and converted into a Gothic mansion with small square turrets at the corners of the building . When a wider wing was added to the east of the building at the end of the 16th century, the two turrets located here were removed. The two remaining are covered with pyramid roofs that only slightly tower over the main building. The adjoining farmhouse has three floors; on its eastern front it has a segmental arched portal with a cut-off gable.

In recent years, attempts have been made to turn the castle, which has become a farmhouse, into a guesthouse. This resulted in a change in the window sizes and the interior layout. The previously existing draw well with a large wooden wheel also had to be removed and was filled in in 1969. A few simple coffered ceilings from the 16th and 17th centuries have been preserved inside the building.
