Hohe Burg stands in Ruppertsberg (Landkreis Bad Dürkheim), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Hohe Burg refers to a hypothetical fortification near Ruppertsberg, in Rhineland-Palatinate, whose existence has never been archaeologically confirmed. No visible remains survive today: the stone structures noted in the 19th century vanished once a vineyard was planted on the hill. This is not a visitable site but a matter of historical debate, with some scholars suggesting the remains were actually Roman rather than medieval.

What to know

  • No remains are visible on site today, since the supposed location was later turned into a vineyard.
  • The existence of a medieval castle here is unproven, and some researchers argue the traces were Roman rather than medieval.
  • There are no visiting hours, fees, or facilities, as this is not an organized tourist site.
  • The presumed location lies on a hill west of Ruppertsberg, in the Landkreis Bad Dürkheim.
