Burg Rumburg, Medieval castle ruin in Kinding, Germany.

Burg Rumburg is a ruin of a high to late medieval spur castle on the Schlossberg above Enkering, a district of Kinding, at about 450 to 460 metres above sea level. Its core has a roughly trapezoidal plan of about 23 by 45 metres, with a broad, deep ditch on the mountain side and a preserved outer bailey ditch. A round shield wall stands behind the ditch, and the residential part lay on the north side above the valley; the gate at the southeast corner was rebuilt, and traces of a painted Absberg-Guttenberg coat of arms remain on the outer plaster.

The surviving walls were built between 1350 and 1360 by the Absberg family, who probably acquired the Enkering lordship through inheritance. The castle is first documented in 1361, when Goswin the Elder of Absberg, his son Goswin and knight Heinrich von Absberg "von Rannburch" joined a Bavarian noble tournament society. In 1374 Emperor Charles IV granted Heinrich the right to fortify the village of Rumburg, hold a weekly market and erect a gallows; the Absbergs never fortified it, and the gallows was removed shortly before 1800.

The castle gave its name to the village of Rumburg, which Emperor Charles IV granted the right on 13 October 1374 to be fortified, hold a weekly market and erect a gallows. The Absbergs never fortified the place, the town status lapsed, and the gallows was removed shortly before 1800. A painted coat of arms of the Absberg-Guttenberg family survives on the plaster of an outer wall.

Burg Rumburg stands on the Schlossberg spur above Enkering at about 450–460 m, with the A9 motorway (Altmühltal exit) running in the valley below. The ruin is open to the public, but after masonry collapsed in 2003 it was temporarily closed and repaired, and again in 2014; some sections remain at risk of falling. The gate at the south-east corner was rebuilt, and a second entrance lies opposite on the west side.

On the outer plaster near the second, western entrance, traces of a painted coat of arms of the Absberg-Guttenberg family are still visible. A Czech legend also tells of a black dog guarding a chest of gold and gems at Rumburg; anyone who approached silently on Walpurgis Night could drive the dog off and take the treasure.
