The Urnsburg is an abandoned hill fort on the Orensberg near the municipality of Albersweiler in the southern Weinstrasse district ( Rhineland-Palatinate ).
The Urnsburg is probably a prehistoric complex with early medieval use, which was first mentioned in 1382 as "Urnßburg" and can no longer be precisely localized.
