Natural allocation
The Bückeberg forms (together with the Harrl ridge) in the natural spatial main unit group Weser-Leine-Bergland (No. 37), in the main unit Calenberger Bergland (378) and in the subunit Bückebergland (378.0) the natural area Bückeberg (with Harrl) (378.00 ).
The landscape from the main part of the Bückeberg falls to the northeast through the southeast to the southwest into the natural areas of Rodenberge (378.01), Reinsdorfer Hügelland (378.04) and Kathrinhagener Hochbecken (378.03), and at Harrl to the south and west into the natural area of Kleinenbremener Becken (378.02). To the north it falls from the main part into the subunit Stadthagener Loesshang (522.3) and from Harrl into the subunit Bückeburger Loesshügelland (522.1), both of which belong to the main unit group Lower Saxony Börden (52) to the main unit Bückebergvorland (522).

geology
The ridge of the Bückeberg consists of firm, light sandstone, the Obernkirchen sandstone . It is one of the best sandstones in Europe. Because of its shipping on the Weser to Bremen, it is internationally known under the name of Bremer Sandstein because of its transshipment location Bremen . The western Bückeberg contains shale and coal , which was also mined here earlier. In the south-eastern area there are Jura limes with salt deposits . This is where the brine springs arise near Soldorf , which are used for baths in Bad Nenndorf .
nature
Flora and fauna
The Bückeberg carries beech and spruce mixed forest , in which there are many other tree species such as Douglas fir , birch , maple and hornbeam . In addition, you can still find numerous types of plants such as Märzenbecher , Daphne , broom broom and various ferns and mushrooms .

The NSG Alte Tongrube Borstel is located between Borsteler Hude and the Borsteler Siedlung Rolfshagen (CDDA No. 81268; 1983; 5 ha). The NSG Alter Steinbruch Liekwegen is located near Liekwegen (CDDA no. 555514022; 2010; 22 ha). On the main part of the ridge is the landscape protection area (LSG) Bückeberge (CDDA no. 320154; 1985; 49.72 km² ) and on the Harrl the LSG Harrl (CDDA no. 321393; 1974; 3.80 km²).

use
resources
In addition to the forestry takes rock mining in the area of Bückebergs an important position. Dortiger Obernkirchener sandstone was used for many famous buildings such as the cathedral , the town halls in Bremen and Antwerp and the stock exchange in the Norwegian mountains . Coal was also mined in the Bückeberg for centuries .
military
On a 361.3 m high elevation of the Bückeberg lies the site of a former NATO anti-aircraft missile station . It is located northwest above the Auetal district Altenhagen and south-southeast above the Stadthagen district Hörkamp in the border area to the municipality of Apelern , from whose area an elongated tip extends southwest from Reinsdorf to the former military area; The ridge path leads past. Named after the troop withdrawal of Dutch soldiers neglected area is expansive fenced and is almost exclusively from the at the nearby today bückeburg air base based International Helicopter Training Center of the Bundeswehr used for takeoff and landing exercises of helicopters.
Leisure time and sport
There are on the Bückeberg, in addition to many farm roads without signage, some hiking trails. These include the Bückeberge-way ( Porta Westfalica - Bückeburg - Harrl - Bad Eilsen -Bückeberg- Beckedorf - Bad Nenndorf ) and the Dachtelfeldweg ( Stadthagen -Bückeberg- Süntel - Hessisch Oldendorf - Rumbecker heights - Bösingfeld ); many places offer views, including the North German lowlands . The youth, education and leisure center (JBFC) is located on the ridge in the municipality of Obernkirchen . It emerged from a rededication of the former stone carving settlement of the Obernkirchen sandstone quarries in the late 1970s. The Jahn mountain gymnastics festival and the now integrated Schaumburg children's and youth gymnastics festival take place on the sports facilities of the JBFC . In its early days, the mountain gymnastics festival was called Jahn Memorial Gymnastics from 1935 and replaced the run around the Bückeberg , which was held until 1934.

history
Fossils
Numerous traces of dinosaurs were found in the quarries of the Bückeberg . In September 2008, a “world sensation” in paleontology was presented to the public . The dinosaur tracks of Obernkirchen , among others by raptors , were found in a quarry and are of great scientific importance. Five footsteps of the Iguanodon can be seen today in Bad Nenndorf next to the castle. Such seals can also be admired in Bückeburg, Obernkirchen and other places.
Buildings
At the Hühnerbach near Obernkirchen are the remains of an old Saxon fortress , the Bückeburg (not to be confused with the Bückeburg in the town of the same name) with its ramparts. On the Heisterberg near Beckedorf was the Heisterschlösschen , a circular rampart with a diameter of 65 m from the 10th century.
Memorials
There are two memorials on the grounds of the Youth, Education and Leisure Center (JBFC). The Jahn memorial stands on the Jahn meadow as a reminiscence of the life's work of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn . A memorial stone for the founder of the Jahn mountain gymnastics festival, Ernst Stahlhut, was set next to the multi-purpose hall of the JBFC Bückeberg. The Jahn meadow and the Jahn tower are also reminiscent of the “gymnastics father”.
etymology
In some maps you can find the name Bückeberge . In the Low German language, it is not uncommon to use such a designation as a singular (“We go to the Bückeberge”). During the Nazi era , attempts were made to rename the Schaumburg Bückeberg into the Bückeburger Wald or the Bückeberge in order to differentiate it from the Bückeberg near Hagenohsen , where the Reichserntedankfest was celebrated. However, the plural can occasionally be found in maps even before 1933. The plural was first used in official maps in 1961. In 2005, the Land Surveying Office of Lower Saxony (LGN) made binding the designation Bückeberg for the entire range of hills, so that the name, which has been used for centuries, is now officially adopted on the maps. The Bückeberg is located in the old Germanic Bukkigau (from Germ. Bukki " beech "), so it is the "Berg im Bukki" or "Buchenberg".
Myths
In old folk tales the so-called "Böxenwolf" is reported, a kind of werewolf that attacks lonely hikers at night in the Bückeberg, but also between the surrounding villages, jumps on their backs and only jumps off after a while.
