Nützenberg, Mountain in Wuppertal, Germany

Nützenberg is a 259.3-metre hill in western Wuppertal, forming the Nützenberger Querriegel natural unit with the nearby Kiesberg. Its slopes are mostly built up: the Briller Viertel on the east side, Gründerzeit houses along Nützenberger Straße to the south, and 1960s–70s houses and high-rises to the west. The wooded, undeveloped summit is laid out as Nützenbergpark, with paths, a sports ground, a playground and a high-rope course.

The Nützenberg's Wupper-facing slopes contain caves that were used as bunkers during the Second World War; they remain closed to the public. On the northern side lived Johannes Rau for years before he became Federal President of Germany. The Nützenbergpark on the wooded summit now serves as a recreation area for western Elberfeld.

The Nützenbergpark on the wooded summit holds a sports ground, a playground and a high ropes course, so the hill is used for sport and play rather than for seasonal festivals. Two long flights of steps, the Vogelsauer Treppe and the Nützenberger Treppe, climb the southern slope from the Wupper valley, overcoming a height difference of just over 80 metres.

Walking trails start from multiple locations around Wuppertal and lead toward the summit with parking available at the base. The routes are easy to reach on foot and accessible to visitors of different fitness levels.

The summit's 259-metre height is topped by the Weyerbuschturm, a lookout tower open on certain days in the summer months. The caves on the Wupper-facing slope were used as bunkers during the Second World War and remain closed to the public.
