Ruine Maisenburg stands in Hayingen (Landkreis Reutlingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ruine Maisenburg stands at the edge of a plateau above the Lauter valley, at an elevation of 620 metres near the hamlet of Indelhausen. Built in the 12th century by the knights of Maisenburg, it later passed to the lords of Gundelfingen and then, from 1764, to the von Speth family, who held it until 2003. Of the original hilltop castle, with its massive Staufer-era shield wall of rusticated ashlar, only the remains of a stone building survive, while the former outer bailey has been converted into holiday apartments and an event hall.
