Ruine Ödenburg
Hohenstein, Germany, Germany
Ruine Ödenburg near Oberstetten in Hohenstein, Germany, is a small early medieval castle ruin perched on a rocky spur above the Lauter Valley in the Swabian Alb region of Baden-Württemberg.
Archaeological finds like pottery shards indicate it was abandoned by the mid-12th century, earning its name "Ödenburg" meaning deserted castle, with extensive masonry uncovered during a 1891 water reservoir construction nearby.
Today, sparse wall remnants and earthworks blend into the forested hillside, accessible via local hiking paths alongside the related Burgruine Hohenstein for those exploring the area's ancient fortifications.
