Stollberg, Hill summit in North Frisia, Germany.
Stollberg is a hill in North Frisia, Schleswig-Holstein, rising about 43 meters above sea level. It ranks as the fourth highest elevation in this district, and a large telecommunications tower now stands on its summit.
The hill was first recorded in writing in 1646; its name probably comes from the North Frisian staal for a raised spot, akin to Old Norse stóll. In April 2002 the Schleswig-Holstein environment ministry declared the area a Naturerlebnisraum. A 108-metre Deutsche Telekom transmission tower now stands on the summit, with a viewing platform open to the public at 20 metres.
The hill was first recorded in writing in 1646. Its name probably comes from the North Frisian word staal for a raised spot, related to Old Norse stóll, something fixed and elevated, also a raised seat. The Stollberg spring nearby was regarded as holy in earlier times.
The hill lies directly on the B5 federal road in the municipality of Bordelum. The 108-metre Bredstedt transmission tower on the summit has a viewing platform open to the public at a height of 20 metres. In April 2002 the area around the hill was designated a Naturerlebnisraum by Schleswig-Holstein's environment ministry.
The tower on the summit is the Fernmeldeturm Bredstedt, a 108-metre standard Deutsche Telekom tower, not 139 metres. It has a viewing platform open to the public at a height of 20 metres, so visitors can look out over the geest ridge and the surrounding area without climbing the hill itself.
