The Hessingburg is a three-story, castle-like building in the Augsburg district of Göggingen. It is located on the grounds of the Hessing Clinic and was built in 1880 according to plans by the architect Karl Albert Gollwitzer in the so-called Rothenburg style, which combines elements of Romanticism, Gothic, Renaissance and Neo-Baroque.

The Hessingburg originally served as a guest house for Friedrich von Hessing's orthopedic sanatorium. Numerous prominent personalities, including Empress Auguste Viktoria, stayed here. Hessing had the castle built especially for the German Emperor Wilhelm II, in the hope that he would seek treatment for his shortened arm.

The front of the Hessingburg facing the park is characterized by various towers and turrets with battlements. The ground floor is designed as a grotto, and a fountain served as a source of recovery. The battlemented terrace originally had a ramp and was connected to the no longer existing roof by an arcade.

Today, the Hessingburg is a listed building and is an important architectural testament to Augsburg's history. It is part of the extensive grounds of the Hessing Clinic, which continues to operate as a specialist orthopedic clinic.
