The Höheberg is a small one, up to 510.7 m above sea level. NHN high mountain range of the Lower Werrabergland in the Obereichsfeld , which spreads near Bornhagen mostly in the Thuringian district of Eichsfeld and near Werleshausen with small parts in the Hessian Werra-Meißner district .
geography
location
The Höheberg rises about 13 km southwest of Heilbad Heiligenstadt (in Thuringia), 6.7 km north-northwest of Bad Sooden-Allendorf and 6.5 km east-southeast of Witzenhausen (both in Hesse) - directly northeast of the Werra . Viewed clockwise, it lies between Wahlhausen in the south, Lindewerra in the west, Werleshausen in the north-west, Bornhagen in the north, Gerbershausen in the north-east, Fretterode in the east and Dietzenrode-Vatterode in the south-east. The ridge stretching in a north-west-south-east direction, the Thuringian part of which belongs to the Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal Nature Park , is about 7 km long and up to 2.5 km wide.
Natural allocation
The Höheberg forms the sub-unit Höheberg (358.6) in the natural spatial main unit group Osthessisches Bergland (No. 35) and in the main unit Lower Werrabergland (358 ). It borders in the southeast on the northern slope of the Gobert , in the east on the Obere Eichsfeld , in the northwest on the Neuseesen-Werleshäuser heights and on its southwest flank directly on the Lindewerra-Werleshäuser Schlingen of the Werra .
Mountain height
The Höheberg is 510.7 m high, to which the mostly mentioned height of around 511 m refers. A 508.9 m high point is shown on topographic maps near the summit .
mountains
The mountains, elevations and rock formations of the Höheberg include - sorted by height in meters (m) above sea level; unless otherwise stated according to the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation):
- Junkerkuppe (510.7 m), south-southeast of Bornhagen - Rimbach
- nameless (472.9 m), west of Fretterode
- Teufelskanzel (452 m), sandstone rock northeast of Lindewerra
- Riegelsberg (391.2 m), southwest of Fretterode
- Mountain of Hanstein Castle (approx. 390 m), directly northwest of Bornhagen-Rimbach
- Höhberg (385.5 m), south of Fretterode (with another Teufelskanzel )
- Pfeillietenkopf (356.8 m), east of Lindewerra
- Hartberg (317.6 m), east-southeast of Werleshausen
Leine-Werra watershed and flowing waters
The Leine - Werra - Wasserscheide runs over the Höheberg . The Walse flows south-east past the Höheberg and joins the Werra at Wahlhausen in the south-west of the ridge. Within the landscape rises southwest of the southeastern Teufelskanzel, the Hollbach , which feeds the Walse in Wahlhausen, and southeast of the northwestern Teufelskanzel, the Pfingstrasenbach , which flows into the Werra near Lindewerra . The Siesterbach , which comes from the Stürzlieder Berg ( 342.9 m ) and flows into the Werra at Werleshausen , runs past to the northwest . The Steinsbach rises to the north near Bornhagen and runs towards the north-northeast to the Leine.
Protected areas
On the southern slope of the height of the mountain is in Thuringia the protected area (NSG) trowel-Teufelskanzel ( CDDA -No 164,048;. Expelled 1996; 2 square kilometers large), to the west in Hesse the NSG Harth Berg (CDDA No. 163534;. 1993; 39 ha ) and to the east is the Hasenwinkel NSG (CDDA no. 163549; 1939; 6.2 ha). The first-mentioned NSG is designated as the Fauna-Flora-Habitat- Area Kelle-Teufelskanzel (FFH-Nr. 4625-303; 2 km²), to the west of it the second-mentioned NSG is part of the FFH-Area Werra- und Wehreland (FFH-Nr . 4825-302; 244.81 km²) and the last mentioned NSG is one of the FFH area Röhrsberg-Hasenwinkel-Mühlberg (FFH no. 4626-306; 4.51 km²). On the ridge, parts of the lie protected landscape Obereichsfeld (.; 2009; CDDA No. 390325 384.96 square kilometers) and the bird sanctuary Werra Bergland southwest Uder (VSG No. 4626-420;. 84.33 square kilometers).
Geology and vegetation
The Höheberg consists mainly of red sandstone and is covered with a mixed oak and beech forest . The north-eastern edge is touched by the Eichenberg – Gotha – Saalfeld fault zone and, with dolomite rocks rising from the red sandstone, forms a geological formation in the Hasenwinkel nature reserve near Fretterode .
history
In the middle of the 14th century, the Höheberg was first mentioned in feudal deeds , where Kunze and Friedrich von Worbis sold the Hoheberg and the Odenberg to the brothers Tile and Heinrich von Hanstein . Feudal lords were the Counts of Eberstein and the Fulda Monastery. At that time, the Hoheberg comprised the north-west forest area of the Höheberg up to and including the forests up to Birkenfelde , while the south-east forest area was called Odenberg or Odinberg. Gela von der Mark and her son Otto also sell their part on the Odenberg and Dietzenrode in 1366 to the Lords of Hanstein, who will remain in possession of the forests on the Höheberg for the next few centuries. The name Odinberg then no longer appears in the documents and the entire ridge is called the Höheberg.
In the autumn of 1945, the Wanfried Agreement on the Höheberg regulated a border shift of the American-Soviet zone border, which also remained in effect at the time of the later inner-German border . As a result, the previously Thuringian towns of Werleshausen and Neuseesen were ceded to Hesse and, in exchange, the previously Hessian towns of Sickenberg , Asbach , Vatterode , Weidenbach and Hennigerode were ceded to Thuringia. Thus, this small part of the Höhebeng with the Harthberg and the Eichenlieden came to Hesse.
Worth seeing
The area of the Höhebge offers many excursion options on several hiking trails in a wooded landscape:
- Hanstein Castle , ruin south of Bornhagen
- Teufelskanzel , large rock with a view of the Werra loop near Lindewerra and the Kaufunger Wald and Hohen Meißner
- Sausage Museum in Bornhagen
- Red sandstone formation in the Hasenwinkel nature reserve near Fretterode
- Hereditary funeral of those von Hanstein in Rothenbach near Gerbershausen
- Stickmaker Museum in Lindewerra
