The Wallburg Brunsburg is a hillfort in Höxter-Godelheim (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). It was built as hillfort and settlement in the Pre-Roman Iron Age on Brunsberg hill.
Only a few remains of the enclosure have been found in excavations. Most traces of the hillfort have been destroyed by the construction of the medieval castle of the same name.
