Roter Berg, Mountain summit in northern Erfurt, Germany

The Roter Berg rises 234 meters above sea level, emerging 40 meters from the Thüringer Becken basin in the northern region of Erfurt.

In 1925, the first Erfurt airport was established south of Roter Berg, operating under Lufthansa until 1939 before transitioning to military functions.

The name Roter Berg originates from the reddish-brown Keuper sandstone that forms the mountain and was used for brick production in the region.

The mountain area contains protected biotopes spanning 5.5 hectares, established in 2005 through rehabilitation of former clay extraction sites.

During medieval times, vineyards covered the southern slopes until the arrival of phylloxera pest caused the termination of wine production.
