The Wittelsberger Warte (also: Wittelsberger Schanze) in the Ebsdorfergrund district of Wittelsberg (Marburg-Biedenkopf district, Hesse) is a medieval observatory that was built in 1431 by Landgrave Ludwig I to monitor traffic on the Long Hesse. It is the best known and best preserved part of a Landwehr that was supposed to secure Hesse against the Catholic Kurmainz and was an outpost of Frauenberg Castle.
