Burgstall Staufenberg stands in Fichtenberg (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Staufenberg marks the site of a former hilltop fortification that has since vanished, standing at 400 metres above sea level on the Staufenberg near the hamlet of Rauhenzainbach, within the municipality of Fichtenberg. Also known as Altes Schlössle, the place no longer holds any standing structure, but the remains of a neck ditch and a ring ditch are still visible in the terrain. It suits visitors drawn to quiet archaeological traces rather than restored castles.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains on site, only a neck ditch and a ring ditch are still visible in the ground.
  • The site sits on high ground on the Staufenberg near the hamlet of Rauhenzainbach, so reaching it involves a walk.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, as this is not a managed monument.
  • Expect natural, wooded terrain, so sturdy walking shoes are advisable.
