Ochsenkopf, Mountain summit in Fichtel Mountains, Bavaria, Germany.

Ochsenkopf is a mountain summit in the Fichtel Mountains reaching 1,024 meters, crowned by both an observation tower and a transmission tower at its peak. Two chairlifts connect the summit to surrounding valleys, offering access from different directions.

The mountain takes its name from mining activities that began in 1495, when the name first appeared in official mining records. This early economic importance shaped the region's relationship with the landscape.

The name Ochsenkopf, first recorded in mining deeds in 1495, may refer to a steer's head carved into a rock on the summit, which visitors can still see. The Asenturm observation tower, opened on 26 August 1923, was built with donations and volunteer labour from Fichtelgebirge Club members and schoolchildren who carried building material up the mountain in rucksacks.

Two chairlifts serve the summit: the north lift starts in Bischofsgrün, the south lift in Fleckl near Warmensteinach. In summer the south lift carries bicycles up for the downhill single track, and the dry toboggan run is reached from the north lift's middle station. The 191.5-metre transmitter is not open to the public; the Asenturm observation tower is.

A steer's head is carved into a rock on the summit, still visible today. It may explain the name Ochsenkopf, first recorded in 1495 when Lorenz von Ploben of Nuremberg was granted the mine "near the Ochsenkopf".
