Köterberg, Mountain peak between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony, Germany
The Köterberg rises 495.8 meters above sea level, forming the highest elevation in the Lippe Uplands along the border of two German states.
In 1831, authorities constructed a 4.9-meter tower at the summit, establishing a crucial triangulation point for geographical measurements across the region.
The Brothers Grimm documented this location as Götzenberg in their collected tales, noting its connection to traditional religious practices.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, where visitors find the Köterberghaus restaurant and a telecommunications tower from 1971.
The mountain served as a vital link in the Prussian optical telegraph system between Berlin and Koblenz from 1832 to 1849.
