The level is 320 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in the Werra-Meißner district in northeastern Hesse ( Germany ).
geography
location
The mountain is located in the north-eastern part of the Werra-Meißner district about three kilometers east of Witzenhausen not far from the Hessian- Thuringian border. Immediate neighboring towns are Unterrieden in the northwest, Neuseesen in the northeast and Werleshausen in the southeast. The mountain is delimited by the Werra valleys in the south and west and their tributaries Siesterbach in the east and Karlsbach in the northwest.
Mountain height and landscape
Most maps do not give an exact mountain height. The BfN map service has a height of 314 meters for the middle section of the mountain; to the north, according to the contour lines, a height of at least 320 meters must be assumed.
The Ebenhöhe is part of a mountain range that runs from north to south. To the north is the Stürzliede (354.2 m), northwest of the Witzgenstein (336.3 m) and southwest of the Liebenberg (287.4 m). The western slopes of this mountain range, divided by small valleys, are called The Nine Reasons . In Bebenroth , a depression between the Ebenhöhe and the Stürzliede, is the Bebenroth tunnel on the Göttingen – Bebra railway line . At the southern foot of the Ebenhöhe above the Werra, there is already a small rock in the red sandstone, the Hasenkanzel . From here you have a view of the Werra Valley and Ludwigstein Castle .
Natural allocation
The Ebenhöhe belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Osthessisches Bergland (No. 35) and in the main unit Lower Werrabergland (358) to the subunit Neuseesen-Werleshäuser Heights (358.8).
nature
At the intersection of various fault zones , the geological basis of the level consists of shell limestone . The mountain is mainly forested, on the mountain slopes there are also numerous areas with semi-arid grassland and orchards. The south-east slopes are part of the Ebenhöhe-Liebenberg nature reserve with rare animal and plant species. Various hiking trails run across the mountain, including the Grenzstein hiking trail . There is also a forest sports field above Werleshausen.
history
For several centuries, the border ran across the mountain between the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel (until 1803) and the Electorate of Hesse (until 1865) and the Mainz territory of Eichsfeld (until 1803) and the Prussian province of Saxony (until 1945). Numerous boundary stones with the inscriptions KP (for Kingdom of Prussia) and KH (for Electorate of Hesse) still bear witness to this today.
In 1945, following disputes on the Göttingen-Bebra railway line, the Wanfried Agreement led to a shift in the American-Soviet zone border. So the Eichsfeld towns of Werleshausen and Neuseesen came from the district of Heiligenstadt with their part of the district to the Hessian district of Witzenhausen .
