Biesdorfer Höhe, Summit in Marzahn-Hellersdorf district, Berlin, Germany.

Biesdorfer Höhe is an 82-meter summit in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf district with paths to its peak lined by oak and ash trees. The climb offers different routes, including a straight staircase with about 97 steps and a winding path that spirals around the elevation.

The natural hill, shaped by the Ice Age, stood at 45.8 metres above sea level and was used as a rubbish dump from 1713 until World War I. Between 1952 and the 1960s, rubble from the construction of the Stalinallee and from the demolition of the Berlin City Palace was dumped on the Biesdorfer Berg, raising it to 82 metres.

The hill's name comes from Biesdorf, the Marzahn-Hellersdorf locality around it. Halfway up stands the Schilkinplattform, an observation point sponsored by the local spirits producer Schilkin, facing toward Berlin-Kaulsdorf. The Wuhletal hiking trail runs along the eastern foot of the hill.

The hill is easy to climb and offers two different routes depending on your preference and fitness level. Wear good shoes, especially if you choose the winding path to better enjoy the green surroundings.

The hill's growth came largely from rubble: debris from the construction of the former Stalinallee and from the 1950 demolition of the Berlin City Palace was dumped on the Biesdorfer Berg between 1952 and the 1960s, lifting it from 45.8 to 82 metres above sea level.
