Hausberg, Mountain summit in Butzbach, Germany

The Hausberg peak reaches 486 meters in elevation and marks the easternmost point of the Taunus mountain range, bordering the Wetterau landscape.

The mountain contained a Celtic ringfort from the La Tène period, with archaeological excavations beginning in 1911 to study the ancient remains.

The first observation tower was constructed in 1873, with a new 23-meter tower built in 2008 to maintain the tradition of mountain observation.

The summit features a modern observation deck at 19 meters height, offering visitors expansive views across the surrounding German landscapes.

The mountain holds traces of the Roman Limes Germanicus defense system, including the Hunnenkirchhof fort at its base.
