The ringwork on the Schießberg (German: Ringwall Schießberg) is a, now levelled, early medieval hillfort situated at a height of 422 m above sea level (NHN) on the Schießberg, about 1,100 metres northeast of the church of Unterstürmig, a village in the market municipality of Eggolsheim in the county of Forchheim in the south German state of Bavaria.

Of the former castle, only circular ramparts and moat remnants have survived.
