<!-- This family has a rather complicated succession, namely in regards to its 3rd split that happened with the sons of Volkwin III/IV. His eldest Heinrich built the castle of Neu-Sternberg and founded the County of Sternberg, his descendants referred as Counts of Sternberg. Regarding the Schwalenberg it was left to Heinrich's younger brothers and their children, namely: Widekin V (3rd son of Volkwin III) and his son Heinrich; Adolf (4th son) and his son Gunther and grandson Adolf II; Albrecht (6th son) and his sons Heinrich II and Albrecht II and also grandsons Burchard and Heinrich III who were sons of Heinrich II.  -->
