The Eleventh Head is a mountain in the Wiehengebirge in the Westphalian district of Minden-Lübbecke . It lies on the border between the municipality of Hille and the city of Bad Oeynhausen , which runs along the ridge here. Its height is 233 m above sea level.
Like almost all mountains in the Wiehengebirge, the Eleventh Head has an elongated ridge summit (Egge) and is only separated from the peaks to the west by Dören . The mountain is nevertheless perceived as a striking peak, as the drought that adjoins it to the east, the Wallücke , is very pronounced. The eleventh head represents the eastern cornerstone of the closed, 17.5 kilometer long and between 0.5 and 2.2 kilometer wide forest belt from the breakthrough of the Große Aue at Neue Mühle to this point, because the forest is on the Wallücke, if only for little more than 100 meters, interrupted.
The Eleventh Head got its name from the small town of Elfte , which belongs to the Hillen district of Oberlübbe and is located around 800 meters northeast of the summit. The summit of the Bröderhauser Berg lies around one kilometer to the northwest .
History / nature
On the eleventh head, in the old "Pottschen Steinbruch", there was a blasting site for the pioneers of the Bundeswehr . The mining of ores was also important in the past. Today, large parts of the mountain are a designated nature reserve. Rare bat species live in the old ore mining tunnels. The eagle owl breeds on the mountain.
