Großer Auersberg, Mountain summit in the Rhön, Bavaria, Germany

The Großer Auersberg is a mountain in the Bavarian Rhön, given as 808.6 m above sea level in German sources and 818 m in English ones, about three kilometres southwest of Wildflecken's village centre in the Bad Kissingen district. Dense deciduous forest covers it, and it lies inside the Wildflecken Training Area. The Kleiner Auersberg rises just to the west-southwest.

The mountain became part of the Wildflecken Training Area in 1938 when military forces claimed the land for strategic operations. This military designation has remained in place for over 80 years.

The mountain gave its name to the former unparished area Großer Auersberg. For over 100 years, barite was mined at the Marie mine on the mountain, a detail recalled in local mining history. The Großer Auersberg should not be confused with the Auersberg near Hilders in the Hessian Rhön.

The Großer Auersberg lies entirely within the Wildflecken Training Area, a military out-of-bounds area civilians may not enter; the sources record no public access days. The summit is about three kilometres southwest of Wildflecken's village centre, and the Kleiner Auersberg rises just west-southwest of it. Do not confuse it with the Auersberg near Hilders in the Hessian Rhön.

For over 100 years, barite was mined at the Marie mine on the mountain, a detail easily missed by those who only know the Großer Auersberg as a restricted military summit. The mine's long operation is documented in the sources, though no visible remains are described.
