The highest points in the German states Elevations in
metres (m) above
sea level (NHN)
This list of the highest points of the German states shows the highest
mountain or
hill in each
German federal state together with its height and links to lists of other mountains and hills.
Overview
At 2,962.06 m above
sea level (NHN), the highest mountain in Germany is
Bavaria's
Zugspitze, whose height until 2000 was given as 2,961.47 m above
sea level (NN).[1] The lowest height occurs in the
city of Bremen: at 32.5 m the highest natural point of the smallest German state is located in
Friedehorst Park in the Bremen quarter of Burglesum, although the rubbish tip in
Bremen-Blockland, whose summit reaches 49 m, is higher. The highest natural point in the capital city of Berlin, the
Große Müggelberg, is, at 114.7 m[2] still 5.4 metres lower than the rubble heap of the
Teufelsberg, which was piled up after the
Second World War and reaches a height of 120.1 m;[3] but the highest point in Berlin is an artificially created mound of the
Arkenberge, which attains a height of about 122 m.[4] Together with the highest points of the states of
Hamburg,
Schleswig-Holstein and
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, none reaches a height of 200 m.
At 201 m, the
Kutschenberg is the highest summit in
Brandenburgs. However, the highest point in the state is actually a spot on the
Heidehöhe which reaches 201.4 m, but whose summit lies a few metres over the border in the neighbouring state of
Saxony.[5]
The only summit of the sixteen that is not marked by a
summit cross or a stone is the rise in Friedehorst Park. The summit of the Großer Beerberg lies within a
biosphere reserve and is not, therefore, accessible to the public. However, peak baggers may count the observation platform which lies just below the summit.[5]
