The Große Bunkerberg in Volkspark Friedrichshain is 78 m, the highest point in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district in Berlin . Its neighbor is the Kleine Bunkerberg ( location ) with a height of 68 m.
history
The hills got their names because the remains of the two Friedrichshain flak towers are inside . The battle tower with dimensions of approx. 70 × 70 m and a height of approx. 39 m, parts of which can still be seen, was located at the location of the Großer Bunkerberg. The Kleine Bunkerberg covers the remains of the fire control tower, which was designed with the same height but with a base area of approx. 23 × 50 m. Important paintings from the Berlin Gemäldegalerie were stored there, 434 of which were probably burned in May 1945 under unexplained circumstances (see also the Gemäldegalerie's war losses ).
The elevations are typical Berlin rubble mountains . After the attempted demolition of the flak towers by the Red Army in June 1946 did not bring the desired success, approx. 2.1 million m³ of rubble were piled around them with the Berlin rubble railway , which earned the surveys the name Mont Klamott .
The Große Bunkerberg is densely forested today. A number of hiking trails lead to the top of the mountain, which lead to a roundabout. In the parapet of the roundabout, various sights and parts of the city are engraved in the respective direction, but these are hardly recognizable due to the dense forest.
Artistic references
In 1968 Wolf Biermann released the song “Spring on Mont Klamott” on his LP “Chausseestrasse 131”.
In 1973 a scene from the well-known DEFA film The Legend of Paul and Paula on the Mountain was filmed.
In 1983 the band began Silly the Mont Klamott with a so-titled single and an album a musical monument of the same name. In the song, the singer describes how she talks to an old woman in Volkspark Friedrichshain and during the conversation she praises the city fathers for the creation of this Volkspark. Then the woman replies: “Let them rest, the fathers of this city. They are so dead since Germany's ascension. The mothers of this city carted the mountain together. "
