Ehingerburg Castle (Ruin)
The Ehingerburg is a vanished hilltop castle in Bad Niedernau, a district of Rottenburg am Neckar in the Tübingen district in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was once the residence of the Imperial Barons of Ehingen, who named themselves after the town of Ehingen, now part of the core city of Rottenburg am Neckar. Today, only the foundation and a 1-meter-high wall on the south side remain.
The castle was built on the so-called "Schlossfelsen" (Castle Rock) above the Katzenbach Valley (data on construction and decay are unknown). The castle hill was only about 5-7 meters wide and 12 meters long.
