Trageburg

The Trageburg is a ruined castle immediately next to the Rappbode Pre-Dam in the Harz Mountains of Germany.

It is located near Trautenstein in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt.

Its purpose, like that of the nearby Susenburg, was to protect an old long-distance trade route that ran north–south over the Harz.
