The Kniel is a mountain in the area of ​​the city of Oschersleben (Bode) in Saxony-Anhalt , northwest of the village of Schermcke . Its height is 205 meters.

The mountain rises significantly above the rather flat landscape of the Magdeburg Börde , which adjoins it to the east, and thus enables a wide view of the country. Until about the 1960s there was a tower serving as a trigonometric point for land surveying on its summit .
