The Hahneberg , also called "Halmeberg" or "Hainberg" on some maps, is located north of Neusalza-Spremberg in the district of Görlitz , ( Saxony ). Its name can be derived from the Middle German hagen, hain for bush forest.
geography
The Hahneberg (410.3 m) and the Fuchsberg (422.3 m) to the east are bounded by the Oppacher Flößchen in the north, the Kothe in the east, the Spree in the south and another trickle in the west. They belong to the microgeochore "Mountain Ridge Large Forest ".
geology
The massif, which consists of Lusatian granodiorite and extends from northeast to southwest, lies on Spremberger Flur. It towers over the Spreetal by almost 100 m.
At the highest point of the Hahneberg summit is a plateau-like leveling. On its southwest side there is an already heavily weathered, 4 m wide and 2 m high cliff. In the neighboring area there are scattered blocks with an edge length of up to 3 m, the spread of which hardly exceeds 20% of the total area. On the southeastern foothills of the Hahneberg, the wooded Güttlerbüschl hill with its striking cliff stands out in the midst of meadows and pastures . The geological phenomenon has recently been seen both as an object of archaeoastronomy and historically as a stone relic of the Neolithic .
Granodiorite was mined in several places until the Second World War. Quarries filled with water (e.g. company break in the northeast) and overburden heaps overgrown with dense shrubbery bear witness to this. Access roads that have been extended in many directions have also remained. Approx. 800 m northeast of the Hahneberg, already on Schönbacher Flur, Lamprophyr was still mined until 1968 .
Others
The Oberlausitzer Bergweg from the Mittellausitzer Bergland to the Kottmar crosses the Hahneberg at the western end of the forest from north to south along the Beiersdorfer Weg.
Spruce forest determines the forest appearance, as with the Steinklunsen . Original English oak-birch forest is located on the western slope of the Hahneberg. The winter lime tree is strikingly common on the southern slope of the Fuchsberg to the east.
The southern foothills of the Fuchsberg are known as Kritschen or Kretschamberg (372.7 m). On its southern flank, already close to Spremberg, the forged stones rise in a wooded area . These granodiorite cliffs were changed by carving in stairs, putting in handrails and inserting them into a natural stage. Another mountain spur of the Fuchsberg is called Lammberg, named after the former Spremberger sheep farm.
In the 1950s, one was in Hahneberg left of the entrance to the quarry, shooting the GST with a 40-meter shooting range, which in NNW direction, branch Beiersdorfer way ran. The GST comrades who carried out target practice there were employed in the local companies "Cotton" and " MTS ". The shooting range with earth wall and bullet trap was also sometimes used by GST members from Löbau . Today this complex is completely overgrown.
