The prehistoric crannog Wangen-Hinterhorn is located in Öhningen (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany). It was used at least between 4000–2500 and 1500–500 BC. Finds from the Pfyner Kultur, Michelsberg Kultur and the Horgener Kultur were made at the site.
Today, the original remains of the settlement are preserved beneath the ground and the water and are covered with geotextile and gravel. A reconstructed house can be visited (Museum Fischerhaus Öhningen-Wangen).
The site is part of the UNESCO world heritage Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps.
