Baursberg, Hill in Blankenese, Germany.

The Baursberg rises 92 meters above sea level in Hamburg's Blankenese district, forming part of the elevated shoreline near the Elbe River.

The Waterworks Baursberg, established in 1859, marked a significant advancement as Hamburg's first water facility implementing filtration technology for public supply.

The hill serves as a central gathering point for Hamburg residents who regularly visit its slopes for outdoor activities and community events.

Eleven wells positioned throughout Baursberg extract water from depths of 40 to 320 meters, supplying neighborhoods including Othmarschen and Schenefeld.

The natural elevation of Baursberg enables water distribution without pumps, utilizing gravity to deliver resources across Hamburg's western districts.
