history
Around 1450 the building was called the "Huntsreinermühle". The owners were the brothers Siegmund and Wolfgang Forster zu Forstenrreith and Hehenberg. In 1559 Hans Heinrich Geumann is named as the owner of Stauf. In 1578 Stauf was raised to a noble seat by Emperor Rudolf II . In 1581 it was owned by Elias Underholzer, the last imperial keeper. Other owners were: Michael Staufer (1580), Wolfgang Wagner (1587), his son Hans Wagner, who was married to Leonore Rosenberger von Rosenegg , and then the Lords von Thenn (1614), Salzburg mint master, Christoph Khevenhüller and his widow (1630 ). In 1778 the castle was acquired by Florian Max C (K) lodi and passed on to Karolina Countess von Klam in 1790. From 1803 the counts are Clam-Martinicowned by Stauf. In 1810 the property passed to the Preuner, in 1817 Stauff became the noble estate of Prince Wrede and in 1833 it passed to Anton Payr. In 1865 it was transferred to the glass manufacturer Baron Stimpfl von Freudenthal, who set up a glass grinding shop here. In 1876 the eldest son Theodor Stimpfl bought the property, but Stauf remained uninhabited. This was followed in 1911 by Theodor Stimpfl jun.
During the Second World War , the castle served as a warehouse for the female Reich Labor Service (RAD) . It remained in the possession of the Stimpfl family until 1971. In 1971, Adolf Zelba acquired Stauff Castle, with other owners following in quick succession: Fellnsteiner (1977), Herbert Ernst Pils (1983). In 1991, the beverage manufacturer August Starzinger (* 1943) bought it . In the years 2001–2007, the castle was renovated by him and his family at great expense . Today the registry office of Frankenmarkt and a museum are housed in the castle. There is a small stage in the inner courtyard that can be used for music events, among other things. With a variety of events (birthday, anniversary, company and Christmas parties) and cultural events, the castle is being revived today.
