The Hünenberg is 112.3 m above sea level. NHN high hill in the Herbede district of Witten . It is located south of the Wittener Strasse, along which the Kamperbach flows, east of the Hammertal with the Pleßbach near Steinenhaus , west of a nameless stream that crosses under the Autobahn 43 in places, and north of the Rüsberggraben . The Kleinbahnhof path , which is reminiscent of the Bossel – Blankenstein Kleinbahn , leads over the largely undeveloped hill .
The Hünenberg is mentioned in the Stiepeler Schnadebuch of 1486. Johann Dietrich von Steinen wrote in 1760: “The Hünenberg against the Kemna Castle , should be named after the Huns .” In the volume about the Hattingen district from 1909 in the series The architectural and art monuments of Westphalia , the mountain is made by Albert Ludorff and Franz Darpe mentioned twice: “ The 'old castle', which in a Kemnader Schnadebuche from 1486 is called the Hünenburg, was located at Blankenstein on Herbeder Weg near Oveney's Feld.” and “The manor house Kemnade (Kemna) is located in the municipality. A knight dynasty, originally settled on the 'old castle' or the 'Hünenberg', a former hill fort, seems to have moved there… “In 1820, when measuring a projected road from Herbede to Blankenstein, a group of rocks was identified in the northwest area as "Old Castle" called. The Niemeyersche map from 1787 notes a “New Castle” in the northeastern part.
The Voss brickworks operated a quarry here in the northern part of the mountain to extract aggregates for the brickworks . The company is closed; the buildings are falling apart. In 2010 there was a public discussion about the wild landfill on the site between the factory building and the quarry.
