The ruin Rammingen , also called Burstel (= southern German " Burgstall "), is a ruined castle near the church at the south-western end of the municipality of Rammingen in the Alb-Donau district in Baden-Württemberg .

The castle was built in the 11th century by the Lords of Rammingen, first mentioned in 1127 and destroyed in 1393. The gentlemen von Albeck are named as other owners. Remnants of the wall and the remains of a tower can still be seen from the castle.
