Sinzendorf

In the second half of the 17th century, Georg Ludwig Graf von Sinzendorf bought the county of Neuburg am Inn, which was lost in 1680 again.

1654 Count Georg Ludwig von Sinzendorf from the Fridau-Neuburger line was invested as hereditary treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire; in token of this office, he was allowed to add the imperial crown to his coat of arms.

The line Ernst Brunn divided into two; the senior line, raised in 1803 to princes of the Holy Roman Empire, included the dominions Ernst Brunn, Klement, Straussberg, Triebel, Castle Eichhorn (from 1707-1802), inter alia, in Austria, Bohemia and Moravia, and the castle county Winterrieden in Bavaria, which the family was given in compensation for the lost County Rheineck.

With Prosper of Sinzendorf on Ernstbrunn (1751-1822), raised to the rank of sovereign imperial prince in 1803, but mediatized to Bavaria in 1806.

It was followed by a protracted inheritance dispute that ended in 1828 when Prince Henry LXIV of Reuß-Köstritz took over the rule of Ernstbrunn, whose descendants still have it today.
