Schlösschen Ober-Beerbach, Medieval castle ruins in Ober-Beerbach, Germany.
Schlösschen Ober-Beerbach is a medieval fortification west of Ober-Beerbach, situated on a hillside in the Bergstrasse region. Today the site is marked by earthen ramparts and a visible moat that outline its original defensive shape.
This fortification was built during the early Middle Ages and continues to shape the landscape today. Archaeological investigations in the 19th century uncovered limited evidence about its original construction and purpose.
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 site is located near the L3098 road and can be easily reached from the sports grounds in Ober-Beerbach. It is advisable to check on arrival whether the archaeological site is accessible and which areas are open to visitors.
The site sits between two source streams of the Elsbach River, revealing a strategically important position in the terrain. This location between flowing waters provided the fortification with additional natural protection.
