Description, history

The Biesdorfer Höhe is the third highest elevation in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district after the Ahrensfeld Mountains at 114.5 meters and the Kienberg at 102 meters.

The formerly small hill was used as a garbage dump from 1713 until the First World War . After the Second World War up to the 1980s, rubble and debris, for example from the construction of the former Stalinallee or after the Berlin City Palace was blown up , was deposited on the "Biesdorfer Berg" (between 1952 and the 1960s), making the ice age natural Height rose from 45.8 meters above sea level to 82 meters.

The summit can be reached either directly via a 97-step paved path or via a circular route that meanders around the hill. Halfway up the mountain is the Schilkin platform viewpoint sponsored by the local spirits manufacturer and looking towards Berlin-Kaulsdorf .

Trees that are typical of the area such as oak , norway maple , ash and hawthorn grow on the area around the hill . The "imported" species ash maple , robinia and poplar belong to the rather unusual plants .

The Wuhletal hiking trail runs at the eastern foot of the height .
