Wittekindsberg, Mountain summit in Minden-Lübbecke District, Germany
The Wittekindsberg rises 281 meters above sea level, forming the easternmost peak of the Wiehen Hills along the Weser River gorge.
The mountain bears the name of Saxon leader Wittekind and contains archaeological remains from Iron Age settlements and medieval fortifications.
The Emperor William Monument, constructed in 1896 on the eastern slopes, stands as a symbol of German unification and regional heritage.
Multiple marked hiking trails connect the mountain's points of interest, including the Moltke Tower observation deck and the ancient Wittekind Castle ruins.
The mountain's position creates a natural gateway where the Weser River transitions from the uplands into the North German Plain.
