Burg Altenberg is a 6-meter observation tower in Hohenahr, Hesse, Germany, constructed in 1321 from plaster, mortar, and dimension stone. The structure likely arose from the remains of the destroyed Alt-Hohensolms Castle in the nearby Lahn-Dill district, representing both practical repurposing and continuity of the medieval stronghold's presence on the landscape. Now designated a cultural heritage monument in Hesse, it stands as a modest but significant remnant of early 14th-century military architecture.
