Lichtenberg is a manor farm in the market town of Mörnsheim in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt. It belongs to the district of Altendorf and thus to the original Mörnsheim.
The manor farm is located about 1 km northeast of Mörnsheim and southeast of Maxberg on the heights of the Franconian Jura. With an elevation of 531 m above sea level, it is about 120 meters higher than the main town.
The farm was first mentioned in a document in 1303 as an Eichstätt episcopal estate. In 1316, the local nobleman Knight Seifried von Mörnsheim was the owner. In 1802, Lichtenberg consisted of three properties. The population was 9 in 1830, 25 in 1877, 30 in 1912, 20 in 1950, and 19 in 1973, shortly after the regional reform.
Together with the municipality of Altendorf, Lichtenberg transferred to the market town of Mörnsheim on April 1, 1971.
Since the 1990s, the manor farm has been engaged in foal rearing and now also Zebu breeding.
