The Goldberg is a hill in the northern Front Palatinate ( Rhineland-Palatinate ). Over its summit, which is 160.7 m above sea level. NHN , leads the state road 454 , which connects the local communities Obersülzen and Laumersheim ; State road 453 runs from Obersülzen to Dirmstein on its northeast flank .
geography
The Goldberg, which is mostly planted with vines, is part of a low ridge that protrudes from the west into the Rhine plain . The range of hills, to which the Orlenberg ( 190.8 m ) also belongs to the southwest , forms part of the watershed between the catchment areas of the Eckbach in the south and its left tributary, Floßbach, in the north. On the northeast slope of the Orlenberg, towards the Goldberg, is the first steeper ascent that the Autobahn 6 takes on its way from Mannheim to Saarbrücken , in order to get from the Rhine plain to the level of the Palatinate Forest . Regionally, the ascent is known as Laumersheimer Berg .
history
Shortly before the end of the Second World War , the Englishman Cyril William Sibley survived the shooting down and crash of his plane as a crew member on the eastern slope of the Goldberg in the Dirmsteiner Mandelpfad vineyard , but was subsequently the victim of a so-called air murder by Adolf Wolfert , a local NSDAP functionary .
