Hohenberg

Hohenberg, Mountain summit in the Ellwanger Berge, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Hohenberg is the highest summit of the Ellwanger Berge, reaching 570 m above sea level on the Rosenberg municipal area in eastern Baden-Württemberg. Its steep, largely unwooded plateau, about 300 m long and 100 m wide, rises roughly 50 m above the surroundings and carries the Romanesque Jakobuskirche. Stubensandstein of the Löwenstein Formation outcrops from the foot to the plateau.

The Romanesque St. James's Church on the summit was built in the early 12th century. In 1896 a thorough restoration with partial rebuilding in Neo-Romanesque style gave the Catholic church its present form. The Lourdes grotto on the north slope was built in 1886 from tuff and coloured glass slag from the Rosenberg glassworks, founded in 1667 and closed in 1876.

The Hohenberg is a station on the Fränkisch-Schwäbischer Jakobsweg, the pilgrims' route from Nuremberg to Ulm. A Kreuzweg of thirteen stations starts at the St.-Jakobus-Straße by the old parsonage and climbs to the church. Beside the church stands the Jakobushaus, painted by Sieger Köder, with a hostel for pilgrims.

A public road leads from the L 1060 state road to the car park on the summit by the Jakobuskirche. A Kreuzweg of thirteen stations starts at the St.-Jakobus-Straße in Hohenberg, at the height of the Old Rectory, and climbs to the church. The Hohenberg is a station on the Fränkisch-Schwäbischer Jakobsweg from Nuremberg to Ulm.

The Lourdes grotto on the north slope below the church was built in 1886 from tuff and glass slag from the Rosenberg glassworks, which operated from 1667 until 1876. A small pond lies in front of it.
