Schlösschen Ober-Beerbach, Medieval castle ruins in Ober-Beerbach, Germany.
The Schlösschen Ober-Beerbach forms an uneven trapezoid measuring 56 by 34 meters, covering more than 2000 square meters with a surrounding moat extending 180 meters.
The site dates back to the early Middle Ages, with archaeological investigations conducted by the Hessian Historical Association in 1877 revealing limited findings about its original structure.
The fortification might be connected to noble families such as the Lords of Frankenstein or the Forstmeisters of Gelnhausen, though no written records confirm these associations.
The remaining earthworks and moat are visible at the narrow sides of the structure, located west of Ober-Beerbach and southwest of the sports ground near the L3098 road.
The site stands between two source streams of the Elsbach River on the hillside of Bergstrasse, with its ring wall and moat still defining its medieval footprint.
