Großer Gleichberg, Mountain summit in Thuringia, Germany

Großer Gleichberg reaches 679 meters above sea level and forms part of the Gleichberge mountain range, located east of the town of Römhild.

Between 1968 and 1991, the summit served as a restricted military zone with a radio and radar station operated by the Red Army forces.

The mountain preserves the memory of World War II forced laborers through several memorial cemeteries located on its eastern slopes.

Two former quarries, Gleichamberg and Römhild, operated on the mountain until 1981, extracting basalt through an extensive cableway system.

The mountain features distinct geological characteristics as part of the Heldburger Gangschar, a tertiary volcanic field formation in southern Thuringia.
