The House of Rahdenburg (Gariman: Haus Rahdenburg; Latin: Domus Radenburgensis) is a Gariman elector dynasty whose members were at times princes, electors, grand dukes, kings, and emperors of Rahden, Rahdenburg, Polnitsa, Sydalon, and the Holy Audonian Empire. The family is believed to have originated from around X, Tervingia, in modern day Ostrovaza. They took their name from Rahden Castle, from where records indicate the family first ruled as Counts of Rahden before the formation of the Holy Audonian Empire.
The family rose to prominence in the years preceding the formation of the Kingdom of Garima, in which is was created Elector of Rahdenburg during the first expansion of Audonian electorates.
