The Tojaburg Calbe was a turf maze of the Troja Town-type in Calbe (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany).
The oldest record that mentions the maze dates from 1446. It was reported, that pagan rituals had been perfomed at this site. They were officially prohibited in the 17th century. The maze was still visible in the 19th century.
