The Isenberg Höhlung is a rock shelter in the sandstone cliff at the top of Isenberg hill in Hattingen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).

The small rock shelter is located at the North-West side of the hill. It could have provided room for several people and offered protection against the West wind. Several stone tools, including scrapers and pieces of a flint blade, have been found in the red clay ground in 1973. They date from the late 3rd or early 2nd millenium BC.
