Jaberg, Hill summit in Hilden, Germany.

Jaberg is a 109.6-metre hill in the Hildener Heide, a heath area between Hilden and Haan on the Bergische Heideterrasse. It was the highest point of the former Düsseldorf-Mettmann district. On its plateau stands the 13.2-metre Jaberg-Turm, a lookout tower built in 1931 by the Franz Staat construction firm and later fitted with radio masts.

The hill's legends reach back to the Stone Age. Hildener sagas tell of witches from the Bergisches Land flying on broomsticks and pitchforks to the plateau, especially at Walpurgis Night on 30 April and St John's Night on 24 June, and between Christmas and Epiphany. The devil was said to appear there as a coal-black billy goat, and in the 18th century a woman was allegedly burned there as a witch.

Local legends tie the hill to witches from the Bergisches Land who flew to its plateau on broomsticks and pitchforks, especially at Walpurgis Night on 30 April and St John's Night on 24 June, and also between Christmas and Epiphany. The devil was said to appear there as a coal-black billy goat, and in the 18th century a woman was reportedly burned as a witch on the Jaberg.

A tower built in 1931 crowns the summit and offers views from above, standing about 43 feet (13 meters) tall. You will need to obtain a key from the town hall of Hilden to access the observation platform inside.

The hill's name appears in two forms: Jaberg and Joberg. Local Hilden legends say witches from the Bergisches Land flew to the plateau on broomsticks and pitchforks, especially around Walpurgis Night on 30 April and St John's Night on 24 June, and that the devil appeared there as a coal-black billy goat. A woman is said to have been burned there as a witch in the 18th century.
