Burgreste Bräunisburg

Tuttlingen, Germany, Germany

---

Burgreste Bräunisburg, also known as the former Neuwartenberg or Lichtwartenberg, are the remains of a small medieval spur castle on the Bräunisberg near Nendingen, west of Mühlheim an der Donau in the Tuttlingen district of Baden‑Württemberg, Germany.

The fortress was built in the 12th or 13th century, likely held by the noble von Wartenberg family and later by the Fürstenbergers, and was already described as a ruin by the late 14th century before being completely abandoned.

Today only subtle earthworks, a curved outer wall about 110 meters long, a circular stone feature probably used as a cistern, and a few scattered rubble fragments are visible, so the site is an open‑air Burgstall in the forested Black Forest landscape, with the surrounding terraces and felsen offering a quiet, scenic viewpoint rather than any standing buildings.
