Roßberg, Mountain summit in the Swabian Jura, Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Roßberg is a mountain in the Swabian Jura near Reutlingen that rises to about 870 meters above sea level. The area consists mainly of forested land with several marked paths that lead to the summit from different directions.

The Roßbergturm, a 28-metre observation tower of reinforced concrete, was built by the Schwäbischer Albverein for its 25th anniversary and inaugurated on 28 September 1913. The Stuttgart architect Karl Schweizer designed it and the firm Ludwig Bauer of Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt executed the concrete work. The road up to the tower, the Roßbergsteige, was laid out in 1934. An obelisk west of the Wanderheim, dedicated on 9 July 1893, commemorates the Tübingen geologist Friedrich August von Quenstedt.

The summit is crowned by the Roßbergturm, a 28-metre concrete observation tower built by the Schwäbische Albverein and inaugurated on 28 September 1913 as its 25th-anniversary tower. The design and construction were led by Stuttgart architect Karl Schweizer, with the reinforced concrete work carried out by Ludwig Bauer of Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. A Wanderheim with simple overnight rooms and an inn occupies the tower, and the Roßbergsteige road up to it was laid out in 1934.

The mountain can be reached via several marked hiking paths, and a mountain hut at the top provides shelter and food. It makes sense to wear sturdy shoes and bring enough water depending on the season.

The 28-metre Roßbergturm, built in reinforced concrete and inaugurated on 28 September 1913 for the Schwäbischer Albverein's 25th anniversary, carries a BOS radio antenna on top. From its platform the panorama reaches the Zugspitze and, on clear days, the Schrankogel in the Stubai Alps, 212 km away.
