Ruine Burgstall

Fridingen, Germany, Germany

---

Ruine Burgstall, also known as Burgstall or Burg Burgstall, is the site of an abgegangene (largely levelled) medieval castle in the area of Fridingen an der Donau in the Tuttlingen district of Baden‑Württemberg, Germany.

It refers to a castle that has been so heavily dismantled or decayed over time that only subtle earthworks, ditch traces, and possibly a few low masonry fragments remain on the former hilltop or spur, without clearly visible standing towers or walls.

Today the location is considered a Burgstall in the technical sense, meaning it is mainly an archaeological or topographical site marking where a small local fortress once stood, rather than a classic ruin with substantial remains, and it usually appears as a quiet, overgrown patch in the landscape visited more by local hikers and history enthusiasts than by general tourists.
