Lauterberg, Artificial mountain in Stadtgarten, Karlsruhe, Germany
The Lauterberg rises 154 meters above sea level, featuring an observation platform that provides views across the Karlsruhe metropolitan region.
Built between 1889 and 1893, the mountain contained a water reservoir that supplied Karlsruhe until 1967, when it was filled with concrete for safety.
The mountain bears the name of Wilhelm Florentin Lauter, the mayor of Karlsruhe who initiated its construction but never saw its completion.
Access to the observation platform requires entry through the Zoological Garden, with educational paths about local birds leading to the summit.
The construction materials for this artificial mountain came from excavating two lakes that were located at the current railway station square until 1913.
