Armeleuteberg

Armeleuteberg, Mountain summit in Wernigerode, Germany.

Armeleuteberg is a 477.8-metre-high hill in the Harz, just under 2 km south of Wernigerode's old town. Its wooded slopes fall away northeast into the Zwölfmorgental, south into the Kalte Tal and northwest through the Nesseltal towards Hasserode. On the summit stands the Kaiserturm observation tower, built in 1902, from which Wernigerode with its castle and the Brocken can be seen.

Originally called Petersberg, the hill was renamed Armeleuteberg in 1671 after the medieval St. Georg Hospital for poor people; the name arose from the colloquial phrase "der arme Lude holt". Since 1902 the Kaiserturm observation tower has stood on the summit, offering views of Wernigerode, its castle and the Brocken.

The forest inn below the summit, the Waldgasthaus Armeleuteberg at about 445 m, is checkpoint no. 35 of the Harzer Wandernadel stamp network. Hikers collect its stamp alongside others across the Harz. The inn has stood below the peak since the early 20th century.

The summit is reached on foot; the forest inn stands at about 445 m between the Kaiserturm and the Försterplatz, which has a district forester's office. From Hasserode, the Wernigeröder Märchenweg leads up from the Hasseröder Ferienpark. A roughly 1.1 km circular trail, the Wernigeröder Blindenwanderweg, runs below the hill.

The forest inn does not stand on the summit itself: it lies between the Kaiserturm tower and the Försterplatz forester's lodge at about 445 metres, roughly 30 metres below the 478-metre peak. It is checkpoint no. 35 of the Harzer Wandernadel stamp network.
