Hartenberg is a locality within the municipality of Neuleiningen in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. It is situated in the Bad Dürkheim district. The area is known for its scenic landscape, often characterized by vineyards and rolling hills, typical of the Palatinate wine region.

Historically, Hartenberg has likely been an agricultural area, with viticulture being a prominent activity for centuries. Like many settlements in the Palatinate, its development has been influenced by its proximity to larger towns and its role in regional trade and agriculture. The name "Hartenberg" itself suggests a topographical origin, possibly relating to a "hard" or "stony" mountain or hill.

The current population of Hartenberg is relatively small, reflecting its status as a rural settlement rather than a major urban center. Residents and visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside, with opportunities for hiking and cycling. The region is also renowned for its local wines, and Hartenberg is part of this larger wine-producing area.

The infrastructure in Hartenberg is typical of a rural German locality, providing basic amenities and connectivity to the wider region. Its proximity to Neuleiningen means that residents have access to more extensive services and facilities within the municipal seat. The area contributes to the overall character and charm of the Palatinate wine route.
