Battert, Mountain summit in the Northern Black Forest, Baden-Baden, Germany

The Battert is a hill 567.9 m above sea level on the western edge of the Northern Black Forest north of Baden-Baden. On its western slope stand the ruins of Hohenbaden Castle (Altes Schloss); on the southern side rise the Battertfelsen, a red rock face 15–60 m high, with a footpath running above and below it. On the eastern side lies the Ebersteinburg district of Baden-Baden.

The ridge holds remains of a circular rampart attributed to Celtic settlers. Hohenbaden Castle, called the Altes Schloss, stands ruined on the western slope. Wilhelm Paulcke opened the first climbing routes on the Battertfelsen around 1885, and the site has been developed since; Toni Kinshofer died after a fall there on 24 October 1964.

The climbing pioneers named several rock towers after peaks in the Dolomites and the Kaisergebirge. Since Wilhelm Paulcke opened the first routes around 1885, climbers have followed routes from grade II to grade X, the hardest being Der Block, first climbed by Wolfgang Widder in 1989.

The mountain is reachable by train to Baden-Baden followed by bus to Altes Schloss, with marked trails branching out to the climbing areas. Dry conditions are best for visiting, as the rocks become slippery after rain.

The Badener Wand section of the Battertfelsen was closed year-round to climbers in November 2022 because peregrine falcons were breeding less successfully; the rock bridge to the edge was dismantled and bolts removed. The German Alpine Club sued, and in July 2025 the Karlsruhe administrative court lifted the year-round ban, leaving a closure only from 15 January to 31 July.
