Ehemalige Burg Hohengutenberg

Lenningen, Germany, Germany

---

Ehemalige Burg Hohengutenberg, also known as Ruine Hohengutenberg, is the site of a former medieval hill castle located near the village of Gutenberg in the municipality of Lenningen, Baden-Württemberg.

The castle was probably built around 1200 on a long ridge overlooking the surrounding countryside and was first mentioned in historical records in 1285. The fortress was associated with the Dukes of Teck and later passed to the Lords of Gutenberg, the Counts of Württemberg, and the Lords of Baldeck. It was destroyed or abandoned in the late 16th century, and only limited remains survive today.

Visitors can still see traces of the former castle’s earthworks, defensive areas, and a few masonry remains. Although little of the structure is left, the site is valued as part of the rich network of medieval castle ruins in the Lenningen region and offers insight into the area's historical importance during the Middle Ages.
