The princely family of Auersperg was a junior branch of the house of Counts of Auersperg from Carniola, one of the hereditary Habsburg duchies and what is now in Slovenia. It was elevated to princely rank in 1653 and after their purchase of Tengen they became immediate Princes of the Holy Roman Empire.
