The Röthelstein ruins are located on a 30 meter high rocky outcrop on the Danube east of Hainburg, directly opposite the Theben ruins on the Arpad rock in Slovakia. Röthelstein secured the Danube flow on the Austrian side for centuries, and Thebes did this for the Hungarians and Slovaks. Röthelstein Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1180. The first known Röthelsteiners were Ulrich, Heinrich and Irnfried, who were ministerials of the Vohburgers, once one of the most powerful noble families in this area, between 1170 and 1209 and were in their service as lords of the castle.
