Häuschen

Häuschen, Mountain summit in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany.

The Häuschen is a mountain summit in the Eifel region standing at around 506 meters and offering views across the surrounding landscape and the Ahr valley from its peak. The summit sits within forested areas and is reachable via different hiking trails that connect it to neighboring villages.

An observation tower was built on the summit in 1908 and later served military purposes before being destroyed in 1945. During this period, the mountain played a role in the war events that shaped the Eifel region.

The Eifel Club's main trail no. 11, running from Sinzig to Monschau, crosses the Häuschen, and the club's 1:25,000 hiking map Das Ahrtal, sheet 9, covers the hill. The name Häuschen means "little house", a reference to the tower that once stood on the summit.

The summit is reachable from neighboring villages via marked hiking trails and works well for day trips. Visitors should wear proper hiking boots and be careful in bad weather, as the trails can become slippery at times.

The Häuschen's first observation tower, inaugurated on 11 May 1908, was 20 metres tall; in the final phase of the Second World War it carried a Wehrmacht radio station and the wooden tower burned down in spring 1945. A replacement was inaugurated on 30 September 1956, but by 2023 only ground remains of it survive on the summit.
