The prehistoric pile dwelling Ehrenstein is located in Blaustein (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany). It was used ca. from 4000 -3500 BC by the Neolithic Schussenrieder Kultur. It represents one of the few known pile dwellings in a river valley.
Today, the original remains of the settlement are preserved beneath the ground.

The site is part of the UNESCO world heritage Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps.
