Salvatorberg, Summit and park in Aachen, Germany

The Salvatorberg stands at 229 meters above sea level and forms part of the southern foothills of the Aachen-Limburg chalk geological formation.

Louis the Pious commissioned a cemetery chapel on the summit in 840, which later became known as the Salvator Chapel under Louis the German in 870.

The mountain housed a Benedictine community from 997, followed by Cistercian nuns until 1220 before they relocated to the Reichsabtei Burtscheid monastery.

The Salvator Church remains open daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering visitors access to this historical religious site and its surrounding park grounds.

Seven stone devotional stations, crafted by sculptor Wilhelm Pohl in 1886, line the path leading to the Salvator Church at the mountain summit.
