Stim-Berg

Stim-Berg is a mountain summit in Oer-Erkenschwick that rises approximately 157 meters above sea level. Its structure is characterized by quartzitic sandstone formations that shape the Haard landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Stim-Berg served as an important quarrying site during medieval times for extracting quartzite needed for regional construction projects. Materials from these quarries were used in various building works, including fortifications in neighboring areas.

The name Stim-Berg is rooted in the local identity and appears across various regional institutions and publications. Visitors will notice how this name shapes community feeling and reflects people's connection to this place.

The summit is accessible from Landesstraße 889 and has a dedicated parking area at Stimbergpark nearby. Visitors should be aware that accessibility can vary depending on weather conditions and season.

Stim-Berg appears visually dominant in the immediate landscape despite higher peaks existing elsewhere in the region. This apparent contradiction makes it an interesting focal point for understanding local topography.
