Albert married Euphemia, daughter of the Piast duke Konrad I of Głogów and after her death in 1275 Euphemia of Ortenburg. He had two sons:
Albert died in 1304, but the Gorizia line of the Meinhardiner dynasty survived until the death of his descendant Count Leonhard in 1500. The county was inherited by Maximilian I of Habsburg.
