Burg Engelnberg stands in Wuppertal (Wuppertal), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Engelnberg is the name given to a hillfort presumed to date from the early Middle Ages, though its existence has never been firmly confirmed. It is thought to have stood on a height in what is now the Ostersbaum district of Wuppertal, near Elberfeld. No visible remains survive today, and the case for the fortification rests on later archival references and the conclusions of local historians. The presumed site is now built over as an ordinary urban neighbourhood.

What to know

The assumed site now lies within the fully built-up Ostersbaum district of Wuppertal.
It should not be confused with the so-called Engelnburg house, built in 1900, which has no connection to the medieval fortification.
There is no monument to visit on site, as the location is of historical interest only, without physical remains.
