Jakobsberg, Mountain summit in Porta Westfalica, Germany.

The Jakobsberg rises 235.2 meters above sea level as the westernmost peak of the Wesergebirge chain, forming the eastern boundary of the Weser gorge.

In 1902, workers constructed a 22-meter-high Bismarck Tower using sandstone blocks on Jakobsberg to honor the former imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

The mountain features remnants of the Schlageter Monument, built between 1933 and 1934, which stands in ruins on the southwest crest of Jakobsberg.

Multiple federal roads, including B61, B65, and B482, provide access to Jakobsberg, with connections to major motorways A2 and A30.

The Jakobsberg Telecommunication Tower, constructed between 1974 and 1978, replaced the original Bismarck Tower and includes a public observation platform at 142 meters.
