Bornberg, Mountain summit in North Palatine Uplands, Germany

The Bornberg is a 520-metre-high hill in the county of Kusel in the North Palatine Uplands, with two summits, the Kiefernkopf and the Trautmannsberg. On it stands the Schneeweiderhof, a hamlet belonging to Eßweiler, and a 151-metre telecommunications tower of Deutsche Telekom that broadcasts several radio programmes. The Talbach flows to the east, the Jettenbach to the southeast and the Reichenbach to the west; the Herrmannsberg adjoins it to the northwest.

Quarries were opened on the Bornberg from 1840 and were owned by Basalt AG of Linz am Rhein from 1914 until operations ended in 1970. Many quarrymen lived at the Schneeweiderhof hamlet, where the workers' settlement known as the Kolonie was built in 1924 and still stands. The settlement had its own school between 1952 and 1965.

The 2002 rescue dig on the southern slope, between Eßweiler, Jettenbach and Bosenbach, was carried out ahead of the gas pipeline expansion. It uncovered a Roman estate farm and traces of Celtic settlement, evidence of farming on the hill long before the quarries opened.

The walk to the summit offers views across the surrounding hills and valleys. Trails in the area are accessible to visitors and allow exploration of the former quarries on the mountain.

A major natural gas pipeline was installed across the mountain in 1972, linking the Netherlands to Italy through German territory. This infrastructure project became an important energy corridor for the region.
