Description:
The Stauf Castle Ruin is the ruin of a hilltop castle in the Upper Austrian municipality of Haibach ob der Donau in the Eferding district. The medieval complex was probably founded in the 12th century by Wernhard de Stove, an ancestor of the Counts of Schaunberg, and developed from a high-noble center of power to an administrative seat, which was taken over by various caretakers. The castle was built as a family seat before the Schaunbergers moved their headquarters to Schaunberg Castle, so that Stauf was from then on only a secondary castle of the family.[1]
Location and accessibility
The ruins are located at a height of 531 meters above sea level at the southeastern end of a narrow mountain ridge that slopes down into the Aschach valley on one side and into the Zeilerbachgraben on the other. It is therefore a type of summit castle.
History
The word stauf comes from Common Germanic and means cup without a foot. The Old Norse expression is staup and, in addition to cup, also refers to depressions in the path. In Upper German, a stauf is a conical elevation.[3]
In 1125, a Wernhard de Stove (Hanhardo de Stoven)[6] from the Julbach family first appeared in documents, who named himself after a property called Stauf. He is considered the first owner of this episcopal-Passau fief. In 1146 he was still the owner, but at that time he called himself - together with his son Heinrich - "von Julbach". From 1161 onwards, the family called themselves von Schaunberg, which is an indication that Stauf was no longer used as the family's main seat, but that this function had been taken over by Schaunberg Castle. The first documented mentions suggest that the castle was founded in the first half of the 12th century and that the small complex was probably built before Schaunberg Castle.[7][3] Its topographical location suggests that its task was to control the only two natural paths on the right bank of the Danube.[8]
During the Schaunberg Feud (1380-1390), in which Duke Albrecht III of Austria succeeded in putting an end to the Schaunbergs' quest for an independent country by occupying almost all of their Danube castles, an attempt by the sovereign to take Stauf Castle by siege in 1380/81 was unsuccessful.[1] Nevertheless, Heinrich von Schaunberg ultimately had to submit to the duke. In October 1383, he declared himself a subject of the Duke of Austria in a ceasefire agreement with Albert III and promised to terminate the Passau fief of Stauf so that the bishop could then grant it to the duke as a fief.[9] After this had happened, Albert III returned Stauf Castle to the Schaunbergers as a hereditary sub-fief on October 17, 1383[10]. When fighting broke out again between Schaunbergers and ducal troops in 1385/86 over toll collection, Albert III managed to capture Stauf Castle in the course of these battles. From 1386, the castle, which had been badly damaged by the sieges, was under Austrian administration, which was looked after by caretakers. In the course of the 15th century, however, Stauf came back into the possession of the Schaunbergers through enfeoffment.[1] The following people were mentioned in documents as caretakers of the castle since 1337:[3]
