The Wallburg Schaftsköppen is a hillfort in Rüthen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). The hillfort dates from the Pre-Roman Iron Age.

The enclosure is situated on the top of Öningsberg hill in Rüthen-Kallenhardt. The central part is of triangular shape. It is surrounded by two additional systems of ramparts and ditches.
