According to another tradition, the von Schrattenbach family, in their early days also Schratenbach and Schrotenbach , immigrated from Franconia to Styria around the middle of the 15th century . The family line began with Hans Schrotenpach († 1496), Jewish judge and jury member of the Marburg an der Drau council , who was mentioned in a document in 1473.

The brothers Maximilian von Schrattenbach (1537–1611), Councilor of Archduke Karl von Innerösterreich and Johann Balthasar von Schrattenbach (1547–1618), chief steward of Archduke Ferdinand , were enfeoffed in 1586 with the office of hereditary pre-cutter in Styria. The following year, 1587, both of which were in the Inner Austrian nobility and in 1598 a baron with the title to Heggen mountain and Osterwitz charged .

Johann Friedrich von Schrattenbach (1605–1657) and Maximilian von Schrattenbach (* 1605), sons of the Imperial War Councilor and Colonel, Felix von Schrattenbach († after 1624), Freiherr zu Heggenberg, Herr auf Pragwalt and Freiin Maria Elisabeth von Egg, donated the Moravian and Styrian line of the family whose members were appointed Austro-Herbalist counts in 1649 and 1690, respectively.

Both lines produced numerous clerics , three of whom became prince-bishops . The Moravian line was decided with the Prince-Bishop in Lavant Vinzenz Joseph von Schrattenbach (1744-1816) in the male line. Before his resignation as Prince-Bishop of Lavant in 1790, he had received the imperial prince status for himself in 1788 with the title of Prince von Schrattenbach , but later accepted another term as Prince-Bishop of Lavant. Countess Isabella Henriette Kalnoky , née Countess von Schrattenbach, died on October 9, 1875, the last agnate of the Moravian line. The Styrian line expired in 1820 with Count Otto von Schrattenbach.
