The Beerberg , ( 427 m ) is a knoll on the Neugersdorf loess ridge in eastern Upper Lusatia . It is located in the Neugersdorf district of the city of Ebersbach-Neugersdorf .
location
The Beerberg is located in the eastern part of Neugersdorf. To the northeast rises the Lerchenberg ( 467 m ), southeast of the Hetzwalder Berg ( 441 m ), southwest of the Hutungsberg ( 474 m ), to the west of the Butterberg (Vyhlídka, 453 m ) and northwest of the Schlechteberg ( 485 m ).
The mountain is part of the North Sea-Baltic Sea watershed , which stretches from Hutungsberg northeast to Lerchenberg. At the northern foot of the mountain is the Neugersdorfer Spreequelle ; The built-up trickle flows west of the Beerberg in the Lange Wiese, which flows into the Spree via the Mühlgraben near Spreedorf . In the east, the mountain drops to the valley of the Mandau tributary Leutersdorfer Wasser , which also absorbs the trickle from the crane puddle at the southern foot.
The Beerberg is surrounded in the east by Hetzwalde and in the south by Neuwalde .
description
The knoll is on the edge of the urban settlement of Neugersdorf between Wilhelm-Busch-Straße, Neueibauer Straße, Weberstraße, Leutersdorfer Straße, Am Beerberg and Haydnstraße. The restaurant “Zur Alten Jugendherberge” is located on the Beerberg, at its southern foot there is the allotment garden “Kranichpfütze”.
history
During the high Middle Ages colonization in the east, the forest hoof village Gersdorf ( Gherardesdorpp ) was founded in the small cross valley at the north-western foot of the mountain , whose farm is believed to be near the Lampelburg near the Blattbinder pond. After Gersdorf was destroyed by the Hussites in 1429, the Hufen of the desert village reforested - the Gersdorfer Forest was created. In 1588 the Gersdorfer Wald was divided along the Quertal, with the southern part on the Hutungsberghang coming to the Rumburg rulership . The northern and eastern parts of the forest were acquired by the Zittau council in 1597 . In 1662, the Zittau council had the Alt-Gersdorf refugee settlement built west of the Beerberg , extending in an L-shape on the Hutungsberghang and the cross valley of the Mühlgraben. In the 18th century, the Altgersdorfer settlement also reached the Grund Lange Wiese between the Beerberg and Altgersdorf .
The Beerberg itself and the ridge Kuhzahl to the north were still there until the storm on January 5th and 6th 1805 with the Black Forest . In the course of eliminating the storm damage, the Zittau council had the deciduous forest planted from Kuhzahl over the Beerberg to the Dreiecker forest. The crane puddle at the southern foot of the hill served as a horse trough.
In spring 1837 the Zittau council cleared the forest on the Beerberg and set up 37 construction sites on the slope. The Beerberg thus became a lookout point. In 1837 the Altgersdorfer housekeeper and stone breaker built a basalt quarry on the Beerberg, and he bought the quarry site for 175 thalers from the Zittau council. A windmill was built on the Beerberg summit in 1847. The Beerberg was completely rebuilt by the end of the 19th century. The windmill was demolished around 1900. In 1928 a youth hostel was built on the hilltop . The former youth hostel is now used for catering.
Surname
According to a legend, the name of the mountain is derived from the bears living there, more likely the name comes from the wild strawberries that used to be abundant on the hilltop .
