Klieversberg

Klieversberg is a hill in Wolfsburg that rises 110 meters above sea level, offering views toward downtown and the Volkswagen factory from its northern slopes. The hill is partly covered with deciduous forest and includes several recreational areas with sledding runs and play meadows on its slopes.

Until 1925 limestone was quarried on the hill, providing material for building Wolfsburg Castle and other regional structures. This mining activity shaped the hill's geology and appearance before operations ended.

A memorial at the summit honors victims of war and displaced persons, with an obelisk and plaques marking the highest point. Many visitors pause there to reflect on this place of remembrance.

The hill is accessible from several sides, with the northern slope offering the best paths and viewpoints. Visitors should be prepared for varying ground conditions depending on season and weather, making sturdy footwear advisable.

The hill developed through relief inversion of Jurassic rock, making it a distinctive geological feature within the Harz-Braunschweiger Land-Ostfalen Geopark. This rare geological formation holds special interest for those curious about Earth sciences.
