Ottilienberg

Ottilienberg, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The Ottilienberg is a 347.6 m high hill in the south of Schorndorf, about 1.3 km from the market square and roughly 100 m above the Rems. Its summit is a harder Kieselsandstein cap of the Keuper, joined by a saddle about 20 m deep to a spur of the Schurwald plateau. A small pavilion stands at the top, with a single house a few metres north; lower slopes are built up, while the upper area holds near-natural gardens, meadow orchards and a wild park-like stand of trees.

A chapel dedicated to Saint Ottilie, first documented in 1479, gave the hill its name; it was last mentioned in 1537 and probably fell into ruin after the Reformation in Württemberg. In 1634, during the Thirty Years' War, imperial troops under Walter Butler used the hill's position to bombard Schorndorf, which burned almost completely.

The hill takes its name from a chapel dedicated to Saint Ottilie, first documented in 1479 through a portable altar; the chapel was last mentioned in 1537 and probably fell into ruin after the Reformation in Württemberg. The upper slopes now hold near-natural gardens with Streuobst orchards and a wild park-like stand of trees.

Access is via a residential road that winds up the hill, or from the south by a narrow path starting at the roughly 20 m deep saddle connecting the hill to a spur of the Schurwald plateau. The top holds a small pavilion, with a single house a few metres north. The best outlook is westward, down the Rems toward Winterbach and Remshalden.

On the summit stands a small pavilion, a few metres north of which sits a single house in a dominant position. The wooded group on the top is registered as a natural monument: an oak and a field maple together with the surrounding trees.
