Farrenberg, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Farrenberg is a mountain in Baden-Württemberg rising to about 820 meters, covered with beech forests interspersed with open meadows. Its slopes feature a mix of wooded areas and grassland that change with the seasons.

Bronze Age finds on the Farrenberg point to a fortified hilltop settlement of the Urnfield period (10th/9th century BC), probably inhabited into the Hallstatt period (8th–5th century BC). On a 780 m spur to the east stand the ruins of Andeck Castle, where the Talheim branch of the Swabian Alb Association holds the Andeckfest every Whit Monday.

The name Farrenberg comes from the Mössingen breeding bulls (Farren) once grazed here. Today sheep keep the plateau open for the glider airfield, and on the Saturday after the summer solstice the Swabian Alb Association lights a Johannisfeuer at the Olgahöhe below the western slope.

A narrow paved road leads from Talheim up to the plateau, and footpaths also climb from Talheim and from the Olgahöhe, a recreation area at the western foot with a forest playground and hikers' car park. From Zieglers Rutsch there is a view of the Albtrauf and part of the Tübingen district; another view opens from the Bismarckskapf in the northwest corner of the plateau.

The name Farrenberg comes from the Mössingen breeding bulls (Farren) once grazed here. The plateau is now kept open for the Farrenberg glider airfield by sheep grazing, and the Mössingen painter and woodcut artist Andreas Felger repeatedly used the mountain as a motif.
