Starhemberg, Hochadelsgeschlecht#

Starhemberg: aristocratic dynasty from Upper Austria. Gundackar von Stainpach from the S. castle at Hausruck acquired Schaunburg and Eferding in 1559; the family received the title of imperial counts in 1643 and that of imperial princes in 1765. The family palace at Minoritenplatz in Vienna was built under Count Conrad Balthasar Starhemberg (example of early baroque architecture; since 1871 has housed the Ministry of Education); the palace in the fourth district of Vienna (Rainergasse 11) was commissioned by Count Gundackar Thomas Starhemberg before 1706 (later became Schoenburg-Hartenstein Palace). From 1642, the S. family owned a tenement house on the Wieden, which housed over 1,000 tenants and was the largest in Vienna. The Freihaustheater was also part of the building. Other prominent members of the S. family were: Field Marshal Count Ernst Ruediger Starhemberg, Heimwehr (paramilitary force) leader Ernst Ruediger Starhemberg, Count Guido Starhemberg and Baron Helmhard von Starhemberg.
