Rheydter Höhe, Summit in Mönchengladbach, Germany

Rheydter Höhe is a rubble hill (Trümmerberg) in the Pongs district of Mönchengladbach, in the city's south. Its plateau lies 133 m above sea level, the highest point in the city, and it rises 64 m from foot to summit, making it Germany's highest Trümmerberg. At its northern foot are a water play park, a pond and the Rheydt municipal forest.

This hill formed after the 1945 bombing of Mönchengladbach and Rheydt, when large areas of both towns were destroyed. Rubble from the destroyed buildings was collected at this location and gradually accumulated to create the current elevation.

Locals call the hill Monte Clamotte, "Mount Rubble", and also Rheydter Müllberg, the Rheydt rubbish tip, after the household waste dumped here in the 1950s. The names record how a wartime debris heap became a landmark of the Pongs district.

The Dahlener Straße and the A 61 motorway pass south and west of the hill respectively, so the foot of the hill is reached from these roads. The plateau serves as a viewing point; the paths up are serpentine and about 30 metres below the top pieces of plastic bags show in the path walls after rain. At the northern foot are a water play park, a pond and the Rheydt municipal forest with barbecue sites, minigolf and a café.

The hill is 64 metres from foot to summit, making it the highest rubble hill (Trümmerberg) in Germany. About 30 metres below the viewing plateau, pieces of plastic bags exposed by rainwater can be seen on the walls of the serpentine path.
