Burg Kübelberg, Medieval castle ruins in Schönenberg-Kübelberg, Germany

The castle stood on a hill near the church in Kübelberg, controlling important trade routes between Worms, Kaiserslautern, Saarbrücken, and Metz.

First documented in 1297, the castle belonged to the Lords of Kübelberg, with Knight Gerin von Kebelnberg serving as its primary resident.

The castle site includes a 27-kilometer hiking trail called Ritter-Gerin-Weg, which follows the footsteps of the Kübelberg knights.

The remaining tower measured 12 meters in height until 1821, when authorities ordered its complete demolition.

A modern roundabout entrance features a replica structure commemorating the original castle's location and historical significance.
