Gehilfersberg, Mountain summit in Hesse, Germany

Located northwest of Rasdorf village, Gehilfersberg rises to 456 meters above sea level and features slopes covered with deciduous forests.

The mountain's Baroque pilgrimage chapel, constructed between 1623 and 1632, replaced an earlier structure during Johann Bernhard Schenk von Schweinsberg's reign.

The summit hosts a Catholic chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Fourteen Holy Helpers, marking it as an important religious destination.

Visitors can access the mountain through marked hiking trails, with seven Stations of the Cross leading from Rasdorf to the summit.

The mountain's fortified cemetery, Wehrfriedhof, includes defensive towers and high walls demonstrating historical military architecture.
