Burg Rabeneck, Medieval castle ruins in Dillweißenstein, Germany.

Burg Rabeneck is a castle ruin near Dillweißenstein featuring stone walls and structural remains from medieval times. The preserved wall sections show the original layout of the fortress on the hilltop.

Burg Weißenstein was built around 1240 by the Lords of Weißenstein, who lived there until 1295; they held it as a fief from the margraves of Baden. After 1444 the fief passed to the Lords of Kaltental, Ehingen and Neuhausen, and at the end of the 16th century to Martin von Remchingen. In 1649 a citizen bought the ruin and used it, with official permission, as a stone quarry; quarrying stopped in 1855 when the state of Baden acquired the remains.

The name Rabeneck is not historical: before 1835 only Burg Weißenstein was used, and the ruin has no link to the Rabeneck castle or the patrician family of that name. Since 1958–1959 the site has housed a youth hostel, and today the ruin, completed by new buildings, also serves as a restaurant.

The ruins are accessible from Dillweißenstein by marked hiking trails with informational panels along the way. The hike is steep, so sturdy footwear and plenty of time for the climb are recommended.
