The article tells us where Burgruine Waldeck is and about how old it is, but all it says about what it is is that it's a structure. --

Burg is the German word for castle, "ruine" means ruins, thus
Burgruine is a compound word meaning "castle ruins". The German Wikipedia makes more of a distinction in article titles between preserved or maintained castles and castles that are in ruins. –
