Muppberg, Summit in Northern Bavaria, Germany

Muppberg is a summit in Northern Bavaria that rises between the towns of Neustadt bei Coburg, Sonneberg, and Heubisch. A log shelter and a stone observation tower stand at the peak, drawing visitors to explore the site.

The Ottilienkapelle, probably founded after 1071 and indirectly attested in 1343, stood on the Muppberg and became a pilgrimage site in the 16th century; it was demolished in 1533 after the Reformation was introduced. In 1905 the Verschleinerungsverein Neustadt built the 28-metre Prinzregententurm on the summit, financed by 12,500 marks in donations, and in 1926 added the Arnoldhütte log cabin.

The summit shelter is officially called Arnoldhütte, after Max Oscar Arnold, who also initiated the 28-metre Prinzregententurm. The Verschönerungsverein Neustadt built the log cabin for 2,600 marks and inaugurated it on 16 May 1926; it has borne the Arnold name since 1932 and is now run year-round.

Multiple hiking trails approach the summit from different directions in the surrounding area. The observation tower lets visitors see across the region, while the shelter provides refuge during weather changes.

The sandstone reliefs on the Prinzregententurm's base show four rulers of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha: Prince Regent Ernst zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg on the west, Duke Ernst II on the east, Duke Alfred on the north and the young Duke Carl Eduard on the south. Sculptor Emil Bunzel carved them after designs by Max Derra.
