Hundeshagen () is a village and a former municipality in the district of Eichsfeld in Thuringia, Germany. Since July 2018, it is part of the town Leinefelde-Worbis.
== History == Hundeshagen was first mentioned in documents on the 15th of April 1282, when the lords of Westernhagen received patronage over its church. In 1312, the earls of Lutterberg transferred their properties in Hundeshagen to the lords of Westernhagen as well. About 1.5 kilometers to the west of the village, castle Westernhagen was situated on a small elevation that was surrounded by an artificial watercourse. There are no traces left of castle Osterhagen, but it was located on a verifiable elevation close to the village. The noble family Hagen is a noted lineage that was resident in many villages of this region. The castles were destroyed by peasants in 1552, but were mentioned once more in 1557.
