Burg Stubenberg stands in Weiler in den Bergen (Ostalbkreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Stubenberg, also known as Giengerhof, is a former spur castle, now vanished, standing at roughly 530 metres on a western spur of the Hochsträß near the hamlet of Weiler in den Bergen, part of Schwäbisch Gmünd. What survives on site is purely earthwork: two transverse ditches that once divided the long, narrow castle grounds into three separate levels. A visit here means reading the terrain rather than viewing standing walls.

What to know

No structures remain; only ditches and the shape of the terrain mark the former fortified site.
The location sits in open countryside, on a spur of the Hochsträß near Weiler in den Bergen.
No verified details on opening times, fees or access exist, so it should be treated as an unmanaged, freely accessible site.
