Toten Berg, Mountain summit in Vorderer Vogelsberg, Germany.

Toten Berg is a 357.5-meter summit in the Vorderer Vogelsberg near Gießen featuring basalt rock and loess deposits on its northern slopes. The geological composition shapes the visible landscape across the hillside and surrounding terrain.

The summit shows traces of early human presence with stone tools from the Paleolithic period discovered through archaeological digs. A circular defensive structure from the Carolingian period indicates later occupation and the site's importance to medieval settlements.

The name connects to a medieval settlement called Totenhausen, with scholars linking it to personal names from that era. This shows how closely the region's geography became tied to the people who lived here long ago.

The L3146 runs along the Lumda past Treis an der Lumda, and paths onto the hill can start from this road. Forest tracks and footpaths cross the upper slopes, where the Staufenberg and Allendorf boundary runs near the summit. The 45 km Lumda-Wieseck cycle route passes through Treis, and its information board Der Totenberg describes the rampart, the Celts and wandering monks.

The 1964 Totenberg landscape protection area covers 1.37 km², and its eastern part overlaps the Steinbrüche in Mittelhessen bird protection area (3.27 km²). A basalt quarry cuts into the eastern flank of the hill.
