General Hill

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The general hill used to be the location of the general during a battle . Hill sees itself as the place with the best possible overview of the battlefield. From there the battle was directed.

From a military point of view, the Feldherrenhügel no longer plays a role today, but has been used in colloquial terms such as the flying Feldherrenhügel for air-supported command centers or the mobile Feldherrenhügel for the fire brigade's command vehicle .

Use as a metaphor

In a figurative sense, a command center or the place where important decisions are coordinated and made are understood today under a general's hill. In addition, a location that gives the decision maker the best possible overview.
