Kreuzberg, Hill summit in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.
The Kreuzberg hill reaches an elevation of 66 meters, providing views across Berlin from its location in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district.
King Frederick William III of Prussia named the hill after the Iron Cross monument, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and installed at its peak in 1821.
The southern slopes contain Viktoriapark, established in 1894, featuring an artificial waterfall constructed with rocks transported from the Giant Mountains.
Visitors can reach the summit through various pathways within Viktoriapark, though the natural terrain makes wheelchair access impossible.
Small vineyards on the hill produce a local wine called Kreuz-Neroberger, continuing a wine-making tradition that dates back to 1553.
