Alte Grimme, Mountain summit in Hochsauerlandkreis, Germany
Alte Grimme is a mountain summit located in the Rothaar Mountains within North Rhine-Westphalia, reaching approximately 755 meters in elevation. The peak sits within a forested landscape that characterizes this region of upland terrain.
Between 1906 and 1907, local residents built a memorial honoring a notable regional poet. The structure underwent significant changes during a 1953 renovation that simplified its original design.
The memorial at this summit honors a Westphalian poet whose name the peak bears. Visitors encounter a bronze bust created by a renowned sculptor, which invites them to pause and reflect on the site's literary connections.
Several hiking paths connect this summit to neighboring peaks, offering routes for various fitness levels. Most trails are accessible throughout the year, though conditions vary depending on the season and recent weather.
The original memorial structure included an obelisk and water basin that were removed during the 1953 renovation. These elements are no longer part of the site, giving it a simpler appearance than in earlier decades.
