Ringwälle bei Stromberg stands in Windeck (Rhein-Sieg-Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ringwälle bei Stromberg are a group of hilltop fortifications south of Stromberg, in the municipality of Windeck, on the left bank of the Sieg river. The site actually consists of two separate works: a large circular rampart crowning a hill 316.6 metres high, and a second enclosure, the Neuburg, built on a neighbouring spur and protected by two natural ravines. Dated to the late Iron Age, the site has yielded a striking assemblage of Celtic coins, including Sequani potins and Treveri quinarii, pointing to contacts with both Switzerland and the Moselle region. Now covered by conifer forest, the earthworks and ditches remain clearly visible despite some disturbance from forest tracks.
