Arkenberge

Arkenberge, Summit and spoil tip in Blankenfelde, Pankow district of Berlin, Germany.

Arkenberge is a hill in Blankenfelde, Pankow, Berlin, reaching 121.9 m above sea level according to the 2015 survey. It was built as a construction-waste tip from 1984 on a 36-hectare site, with two planned observation plateaux separated by a saddle. A glacial erratic with an inscription marks the summit; the upper slope shows bare, grooved grey-brown material.

The site was once a natural hill chain but became a construction waste disposal area starting in 1984. Operations ended in 1998, leaving the landscape shaped by this industrial use.

The name Arkenberge first referred to the natural Pleistocene ridge; the settlement east of it, begun in the 1930s, took the same name. The hill itself is a construction-waste tip: dumping ran from 1984 to 1998, and from 1999 waste was again accepted to profile and recultivate the body. A glacial erratic set on the summit in 2015 records its status as Berlin's highest point.

The summit is not yet open to the public: a 2015 plan to open it in 2019 had still not been carried out as of April 2026. The site lies east of the Arkenberge settlement in Blankenfelde, Pankow, and the Berlin Outer Ring railway runs through the area. The two plateaux are separated by a saddle.

The hill owes much of its height to construction waste that was deliberately deposited there during Berlin's expansion. While natural hills in the region are far lower, this human-made accumulation became the city's tallest point.
