Burg Hirschberg, Medieval castle ruins in Heselwangen, Germany.

Stone walls and foundations remain on a northwestern mountain spur at 722 meters above sea level, east of Balingen's central district.

The castle, first documented in 1378, belonged to the Zollern-Schalksburg ministerials and underwent archaeological excavations between 1952 and 1955.

The castle features in Jacob Frischlin's 1622 work about Württemberg, connecting it to the founding story of Balingen through a tale of rebellion.

The castle site stands 3100 meters east of Balingen Stadtkirche and 1350 meters south of Heselwangen church, with unrestricted public access.

Archaeological discoveries of pot and tile fragments from the 12th and 13th centuries confirmed the existence of this castle after being considered mythical.
