Burgwald is a community in Waldeck-Frankenberg in Hesse, Germany.
Burgwald lies east of Battenberg and roughly 30 km north of the university town of Marburg. The community lies on the northwestern edge of the Burgwald range, Hesse's biggest contiguous woodland.
Burgwald borders in the north on the town of Frankenberg, in the east on the community of Haina, in the south on the town of Rosenthal (all in Waldeck-Frankenberg), in the southwest on the community of Münchhausen (Marburg-Biedenkopf), and in the west on the town of Battenberg and the community of Allendorf (both in Waldeck-Frankenberg).
The community is divided into Birkenbringhausen in the northwest, Bottendorf somewhat more towards the northeast, Burgwald and Wiesenfeld towards the centre, and Ernsthausen to the south.
Burgwald is quite a new name for the main community. Until 1996, it was known as Industriehof.
As part of Hesse's municipal reforms on 1 July 1971, the communities of Birkenbringhausen, Ernsthausen and Wiesenfeld merged to form the greater community. On 1 January 1974, Bottendorf was amalgamated with Burgwald as well.

TELL ME, IS SHE EV'RYTHING I SEE
OR IS SHE REALLY NOT THE ONE FOR ME?
WE KNOW, AND THOUGH SOME MAY DISAGREE,
BUT DO THEY KNOW THE WAY WE WANT TO BE?
AND DO I STILL BELIEVE IN STORIES I'VE BEEN TOLD?
ARE ALL THE THINGS SHE BRINGS ME WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD?
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD,
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD.
BUILDING SOMETHING, ONE THING MADE TO LAST,
AND HOLDING SOMETHING SPECIAL FROM THE PAST.
AND DO I STILL BELIEVE IN STORIES WE'VE BEEN TOLD?
ARE ALL THE THINGS SHE BRINGS ME WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD?
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD, (gotta believe me)
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD.
AND DO I STILL BELIEVE IN STORIES I'VE BEEN TOLD?
ARE ALL THE THINGS SHE BRINGS ME WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD?
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD,
OH YEAH, (oh yeah) PURE GOLD, (come on, over here, babe)
OH YEAH, PURE GOLD,
PURE GOLD, (pure gold) PURE GOLD,
EV'RYTHING SHE BRINGS ME IS
(Ev'rything she brings me is) PURE GOLD,
(Ev'rything she brings me is pure gold)
PURE GOLD, I SAID, PURE GOLD.
