Haußelberg, Summit in Lüneburg Heath, Germany

The Haußelberg summit reaches 150 meters above sea level in the northwestern section of the Celle district within northern Germany's Lüneburg Heath region.

Mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss selected Haußelberg as a triangulation station during his comprehensive survey of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1820.

The triangulation network including Haußelberg gained recognition when it appeared on German currency, featured on the reverse of 10 Deutschmark banknotes.

The summit stands near Becklingen village within the Bergen-Hohne Training Area, currently operated by NATO for military exercises.

The natural environment of Haußelberg transformed from open heathland to dense forest through systematic tree planting programs initiated in the late 1800s.
