Geographical location
The Gipsberg is located near Sperenberg , a district of the municipality of Am Mellensee , with its peak rising around 750 m east of the village center. To the north its landscape leads over to the Sperenberger Heide , to the east it falls to the Faulen See , to the east-southeast to the Faulen Luch ( 44.8 m ) and to the southeast, south and southwest over the Sperenberg gypsum quarries to the two-part Krummen See ( 44.9 m , Eastern part, and 44.8 m , western part).
geology
The Gipsberg was created after tectonic movements brought 250 million year old, Zechstein Age salt to the surface from a salt dome that is considered to be the most eastern of Germany. After its leaching, a “gypsum hat” remained on the surface, on the southern flank of which gypsum was mined from the 12th century until 1958 in four open-cast mines .
Protected areas
At the eastern foot of the Gipsberg lies the nature reserve (NSG) Fauler See ( CDDA no. 318167; designated 2002; 14 ha in size) and at its southern foot the nature reserve Sperenberger Gipsbrüche (CDDA no. 82611; 1998), the 24 ha and others According to information it is 23.77 hectares in size. The first-mentioned NSG is also designated as Fauna-Flora-Habitat- Area Fauler See (FFH No. 3846-303; 21 ha) and the second as FFH area Sperenberger Gipsbrüche (FFH No. 3846-307; 21 ha). Parts of the landscape protection area Baruther Urstromtal and Luckenwalder Heide (CDDA no. 344850; 2005; 294.32 km² ) lie on the elevation .
