Burgberg, Mountain summit in Hanover region, Germany

Burgberg is a 155-meter summit in the Hanover region that forms part of the Gehrdener Berg range in Lower Saxony. The slopes are crossed by several walking paths, each offering different experiences depending on where you start your walk.

The ring wall on the summit was long labelled "Cheruskerburg", but its age and purpose are still debated by researchers. In 1997 two body graves from the first half of the 7th century, Merovingian period, were found on the slope; the grave goods are shown in the Gehrden town museum. The 21 m lookout tower was built in 1897/1898.

The hill gave Gehrden the nickname BurgBergStadt, and local institutions carry the name: the Burgbergschule, the Burgberg Apotheke and the newspaper burgbergblick, which appears in the Calenberger Land. The 21-metre Burgbergturm on the summit, built in 1897/1898, is a listed monument open on two Sundays a month.

Forest and hiking trails run around and over the Burgberg, and the Große Bergstraße crosses the Gehrdener Berg at its southern edge. The 21-metre Burgbergturm on the summit is a listed building open on two Sundays a month. The Matthias-Claudius-Gymnasium lies on the lower part of the eastern slope.

The ring wall on the summit was long signposted as a "Cheruskerburg", a name recalling the Cherusci of Arminius; its actual function and date are still unresolved by research. Two body graves from the first half of the 7th century, Merovingian period, were found in 1997 on the slope, and their grave goods are shown in the Gehrden town museum.
