Ackeburg

Falkenstein, Germany, Germany

---

Ackeburg is a vanished medieval motte castle ruin near Falkenstein in the Harz Mountains of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, perched on a forested hilltop with traces of earthen ramparts and a possible village site now lost to time.

First referenced through a 13th-century noble family de Ackenborch serving as vassals to the Counts of Falkenstein, it faded from records by the 14th century, leaving only the field name Ackeborch and subtle groundworks as a scenic Harzer Wandernadel checkpoint for hikers seeking the Selke Valley views.
