thumb|Coat of arms of the family The House of Abensberg und Traun (now usually written Abensperg-Traun) is the name of an ancient Austrian noble family, originally from the Upper Austrian Traungau. It is considered one of the oldest extant aristocratic families in Central Europe.
== History == The Abensberg und Traun family was first mentioned with Pernhart de Trune in 1114. Traun Castle is still today owned by the family. The Trauns are one of the 12 so-called "Apostle Houses", i.e. the families which had already played a historical role during the period of Babenberg rule of Austria (976 to 1246).
