The Hädrich-Berg is a 2885  m high mountain peak in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It rises in the eastern part of the mountain Håhellerskarvet in the Mühlig-Hofmann mountains .

It was discovered and named during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . It is named after Willy Hädrich, authorized signatory at Lufthansa and responsible for accounting for the expedition. There is a risk of confusion with the Snønutane mountain group , also located in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains , which also bears the internationally unrecognized name of Hädrichberg .
