The Bäumlersklippe is a rocky outcrop in the Harz National Park southwest of Ilsenburg . While it was a popular lookout point in earlier times, reminiscent of what remains of a fence, today its surroundings are overgrown with beech and spruce trees .

The cliff was named after the hunter "Bäumler". He is said to have stabbed his own son to death out of jealousy in 1752 and later threw himself to death from this cliff. This fabulous family drama was taken up by Theodor Fontane and found its way into his story “ Ellernklipp ”.

This story was taken up again in the 2013 episode of Bäumler's Cliff of the crime series Heiter bis tödlich: Alles Klara . The focus is on the murder of a Fontane expert below the Bäumlersklippe. He too was the victim of a love drama.
