geography

location

The Köthnerberg is located in the southern center of the Gehrdener Berg between the core town of Gehrden immediately to the east and the Gehrdener district Redderse in the west-southwest. The northern neighbor is the Burgberg (approx.  155  m ) and to the south the Suerser Berg (approx.  144  m ). To the east its landscape slopes down to the Haferriede , whose water reaches the Südaue flowing northwest of the ridge through the Möseke , and to the west to the Levester Bach , one of the two source waters of the Südaue.

The Köthnerberg has two peaks: The 136 m high main summit and about 400 m north of it an unnamed secondary peak ( 129.5  m ) east of the Berggasthaus Niedersachsen .

Parts of the Gehrdener Berg landscape protection area ( CDDA no. 321028; designated 1968; 8.5  km² in size) lie on the elevation .

Natural allocation

The Köthnerberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Lower Saxony Börden (No. 52), in the main unit Calenberger Lößbörde (521) and in the subunit Hannoversche Börde (521.0) to the natural area Gehrdener Loesshügel (521.01).

Lithostratigraphic assignment

Like the Gehrdener Berg, the Köthnerberg lies in the up to 320 m thick type region of the lithostratigraphic Gehrden Formation (ID: 2008079).

Infrastructure

The Köthnerberg is forested, the predominant tree species is the beech . The Große Bergstraße runs through the cut between Köthnerberg and Burgberg. From here, the Köthnerberg road leads to a hikers' car park west of the secondary peak. Along this road are a Dutch windmill , a fallow deer gehege that Trip'sche Park plant and the Berggasthaus Niedersachsen . Several forest roads lead around the elevation. In addition, narrower paths run on the mountain slope and over the unmarked summit.

Southeast of Köthnerberges is the KRH - Klinikum Robert Koch Gehrden , east of occupied until 1935 Jewish cemetery . On the lower part of the eastern slope are residential streets of the city of Gehrden. The Waldschlösschen excursion restaurant existed on the eastern slope until it was demolished in 1971 .

Struckmeyer mill

The Struckmeyersche Mühle built in 1878

In 1729 a post mill was built and leased for the first time on the Köthnerberg through the Gehrden area . Today's stone Struckmeyersche Mühle is a Dutch windmill from 1878. It is named after the long-time owner family Struckmeyersche Mühle or Struckmeyers Mühle . The listed mill is now used as a mill museum suitable for children.

Next to the mill there is a fallow deer enclosure run by a farmer.

Berggasthaus Lower Saxony

In 1898, the Lower Saxony mountain inn was built on the Köthnerberg by Hannoversche Straßenbahn AG . In and around the three-story half-timbered building there was space for 2000 guests. A large flight of stairs provided access from a tram terminus on the western slope of the mountain.

From 1939 to 1949, the inn served at times as a military hospital, alternative hospital and children's home. The renovation and reopening took place in 1949, but in 1955 the damaged main building was demolished. Today the inn is operated in the remaining, listed Stuhl remise on the site.

The operation of the tram line from the Steintor in Gehrden, which opened on May 22, 1898, was stopped in 1917 because the overhead line was dismantled for war purposes. The rails were replaced by cobblestones in the 1930s.

Trip park

In 1898, on behalf of the Hanover tram, the Hanoverian horticultural director Julius Trip laid out a 14-hectare park in the style of an English landscape garden with a 2.5-hectare baroque section at Berggasthaus Niedersachsen . The listed complex was repaired in 1991 with funds from the Greater Hanover Association and became the property of the City of Gehrden in 2008.

Mergelkuhle

The former Mergelkuhle on the western slope of the Köthner Mountain

On the western slope between the two peaks of the Köthner Mountains is a former marl cave with semi-dry grassland , which is a legally protected biotope . A neighboring, 2000 square meter area is extensively cultivated as a "nature conservation field". This is done to protect rare field herbs such as the pike-leaved cowwort ( Kickxia elatine ), which occur on the lime-rich, dry soil.

At the edge of the path between the Mergelkuhle and the mountain inn there is a memorial stone for Heinrich Haller from Redders, who was struck by lightning at this point in 1867.
