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

The Pfannenburg is a vanished hilltop fortification on the wooded ridge of the Pfannenberg, at roughly 485 metres above sea level, east of the village of Jagstheim, part of the town of Crailsheim. All that remains today is part of a neck ditch and faint traces in the terrain, close to the Degenbachsee lake. This is a site for those curious about landscape archaeology rather than a visit to a standing building.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains, only a ditch and faint earthworks.
  • The site lies in woodland about 2.7 km from the centre of Jagstheim and requires a walk to reach.
  • The ground is uneven and forested, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, access is free and unrestricted.
