history
The area of the Euzenberg was already settled in the Neolithic. In the late Middle Ages there was a guard tower of the Duderstädter Landwehr on the mountain , only a ring wall has survived. In the 1930s, an industrial area was established at its northeastern foot. In 1939, the Magdeburg armaments factory Polte built a factory for anti-aircraft grenades. During the Second World War , prisoners of war and forced laborers were also used in this company, and in 1944 a satellite camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp was built. Today the Euzenberg industrial park is located there.
Euzenberg Tower
In 1926 the 26.4 m high Euzenberg tower with a monumental cross was built on the site of the former guard tower. The monumental cross, a triple double cross, which is also called the "Christ-King Cross", was inaugurated on October 31, 1926 by Probst Josef Stübe. An observation deck of the tower is accessible via an external staircase .

Some hiking trails lead from the surrounding villages up the mountain, including the European long-distance hiking trail E6 . The geological basis of the mountain consists of middle (mountain top) and lower (at the foot of the mountain) red sandstone .
