Süllberg, Hill summit in Calenberg Land, Germany

Süllberg is a hill in the Hanover region that rises approximately 198 meters above sea level. Wooded slopes define its shape, and several walking paths run through and around the elevation.

During World War II, the hill was used as a site for anti-aircraft defense. Concrete remains and bomb craters on the western slopes still serve as reminders of that era.

The name Süllberg refers to a three-summit ridge whose highest point, the Westkuppe at about 199 metres, lies in Wennigsen; the Northeast and Southeast summits belong to Springe. The boundary between the municipality and the town runs over the ridge. Villagers from Holtensen, Bredenbeck, Steinkrug, Bennigsen and Lüdersen use the forest paths for walks.

The clearest views are easiest to reach at the forest edge where sightlines open up across the landscape. The paths are manageable on foot and suited for walking during any season.

East of the Süllberg, toward Lüdersen, the Bundeswehr built a telecommunications bunker during the Cold War that was designed to withstand a nuclear blast. The federal property agency has since handed it to a private investor in archiving and document security, who uses it as a storage depot.
