Hagburg stands in Ederheim (Landkreis Donau-Ries), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
The Hagburg is an earthwork fortification of stone and soil dated to the early Middle Ages, between the eighth and tenth centuries, set on a wooded ridge near Hürnheim, opposite the Hochhaus ruin. Its roughly triangular layout, enclosing about 5500 square metres, is marked by a triple system of ditches and ramparts separating the site from the plateau above. Archaeologists link it to defences built during the period of Hungarian raids, possibly part of a wider fortified network together with the nearby Weiherberg. Visitors come here for the earthworks and the landscape rather than any standing building.
