The Kötzschauer Berg (465.5 m) is a mountain between Lauba and Kleindehsa 5 kilometers west of Löbau in the Oberlausitzer Bergland .
Surname
The mountain is called on the Saxon mile sheet from 1804 "the horse or half-hoofed mountain ".
These names were adapted by Jakob Andreas Hermann Oberreit and summarized as Hufenberg on more recent maps (1904, 1920) . Previously it was incorrectly called Mittelberg on the topographic map from 1883 (sheet 71: Section Neusalza - Ebersbach) . On the topographic map from 1938 (sheet 71: Section Neusalza - Ebersbach) it was already called Kötzschauer Berg .
geography
The mountain drains to the south and southeast through two streams running to the Litte and west to the Cunewalder water . Some secondary peaks are also handed down on the Meilenblatt, such as the names Kühberg, Mittelberg, Hinterberg, dürre Berg, Horkaberg and the Lindig.
The granodiorite of the mountain was mined from Kötzschau in up to three quarries, all of which have been idle since 1960. A rock wall up to 5 m high and 40 m long crowns the edge of the summit, which is broken up in some places by broken blocks. The west and south-west slopes are covered by a number of scattered rocks, some of which were piled up on the former property boundaries.
Spruce forest predominates in the area of the drier upper slope with red elder ( Sambucus racemosa ) as an undergrowth. The edge of the forest coat is characterized by a vigorous mixed forest on fresh soils, partly interspersed with pedunculate oak and birch forest with bilberry and meadow quail wheat, partly in more humid areas with common ash and black alder.
