Ödenburg, Medieval castle ruins on Spitzberg Mountain near Tübingen, Germany.
The castle remains rest at 427 meters elevation on a mountain spur, with only ground profiles and scattered stones marking its former location.
Albrecht von Hohenberg destroyed the original castle in 1291, though Count Gottfried I of Böblingen rebuilt it the following year before abandonment in 1310.
The name Ödenburg derives from old high German 'ôdi', meaning empty or deserted, reflecting the castle's current condition and historical significance.
Visitors can reach the castle site through a forest path that branches from the main trail behind the summit, leading to a memorial stone.
Between 1907 and 1914, the castle grounds housed a private zoo operated by Eugen Mannheim, complete with an adjacent restaurant.
