Was a county of the Holy Roman Empire.

Establishment


  • January 1101: After Bavarian and Germanic land seizures in the coming centuries, Count Rodolt or Rodin from the influential Ebersberg family converted the remains of a Roman complex into a castle. When the Sempt and Ebersberg families died out in 1045, the Lords and later Counts of Roning took over the inheritance. Count Otto, who founded the Roning-Rottenburg branch line, expanded the castle around 1100 in terms of defense and living space in order to live in it himself.
