Bergeshöveder Berg, Mountain summit in Hörstel, Germany

Bergeshöveder Berg is a mountain summit rising 115 meters above sea level within the Teutoburg Forest, displaying sandstone formations and natural vegetation. The landscape is defined by its geological characteristics and vegetated slopes.

On 15 May 1929 Robert Kronfeld took off from the Bergeshöveder Berg in his glider "Wien" and landed 102.2 km away at Heiligenkirchen near Detmold, becoming the first glider pilot to pass the 100 km mark. The flight answered a competition announced on 30 September 1928 by the Sunday paper Grüne Post, which carried a prize of 5000 Reichsmark. His launch point lay between the inn "Zum alten Fritz" and the canal bridge near the Hermannsweg.

The name Riesenbecker Osning refers to the ridge formed here with the Riesenbecker Berg, Lagerberg and Birgter Berg; the neighbouring Huckberg lies west, cut off by the Mittellandkanal and the Gravenhorster Schlucht. The Riesenbecker Heimatverein placed the Kronfeld memorial in 1991 and maintains it.

Several hiking trails cross the mountain with routes of varying difficulty. These connect to the broader Teutoburg Forest trail network, allowing visitors to plan different route options.

A 1991 memorial marks the exact spot where Kronfeld launched his record flight between a local inn and a canal bridge. This marker shows visitors the precise location of this aviation milestone.
