Kochersberg, Mountain summit in Bas-Rhin, France

Kochersberg is a mountain in eastern France near Strasbourg that rises to approximately 300 meters. The area is characterized by farmland and grassland with multiple trails leading to the summit.

A castle was built on the summit of the Kochersberg hill in the 13th century and destroyed in 1592; only traces remain. Between 1794 and 1797 a semaphore tower replaced it, serving as the second relay of the optical telegraph line from Strasbourg to Paris via Saverne until 1852. In the late 20th century a motionless memorial took its place.

The hill gave its name to the Kochersberg, a natural region of fertile loess farmland west of Strasbourg nicknamed the "granary of Strasbourg"; locals say "rich as a Kochersberg peasant". Truchtersheim, considered the region's capital, houses the Maison du Kochersberg, which has held themed exhibitions since 1982 and publishes the review "Kocherschbari" twice a year.

The summit lies on the territory of Neugartheim-Ittlenheim, reached by road from the village; the false Chappe optical telegraph on the crest marks the top. The hill stands 301 to 302 metres high, so the climb is short. The memorial relay can be seen from ten kilometres away when the weather is clear.

The dark metal structure on the crest is a motionless replica of the Chappe optical telegraph that relayed signals on the Strasbourg–Paris line from 1797 to 1852, as the second station after Dingsheim. The original semaphore tower replaced a 13th-century castle destroyed in 1592.
