The Kniggenberg is 120  m above sea level. NHN high elevation of the Calenberger Land near Gehrden in the Lower Saxony region of Hanover .

The elevation, which was still wooded in the 19th century, was also called Lemmier Berg or Lemmier Holz . She was until this century owned by the Baron Knigge to Leveste .

geography

location

Kniggenberg is located in the Calenberger Land south of the Gehrden core town and north of the Gehrden district of Lemmie . The elevation appears topographically as the south-eastern continuation of the Gehrdener Berg , but is not considered part of it. The northern slope towards the Gehrden district is known as Kniggenbrink and should not be confused with the northeast slope, also known as Kniggenbrink , of the Hohe Warte im Deister near the Nienstedter Pass . The north-western neighbor is the Suerser Berg ( 144  m ).

While the landscape of the Kniggenberg merges to the north into the actual Gehrdener Berg ridge, it drops to the south to the Wennigser Mühlbach , which flows into the Ihme , which runs southeast of the elevation .

On the Knigge Berg parts of the protected landscape Gehrdener Berg ( CDDA -No 321,028;. 1968 reported, 8.5  square kilometers in size).

Natural allocation

The Kniggenberg 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).

geology

The Gehrdener Berg and the adjacent Kniggenberg are made up of layers formed in the Upper Chalk . The alternating harder limestone and softer marl layers dip to the east at around 12 °. The different rates of weathering gave the western slopes a terrace-like appearance.

Natural monument

A group of four red beeches on the top of the Kniggenberg, visible from afar, is marked as a natural monument on older maps . Since the 1980s, three of the trees had to be felled. The protection as a natural monument was lifted for the only remaining beech before 2001. The tree, which was badly damaged by Hurricane Kyrill in January 2007 , was subsequently removed.

use

In contrast to the densely forested Gehrdener Berg, the Kniggenberg is used intensively for agriculture as part of the Calenberger Lössbörde . The construction of a golf course on the survey has been discussed in Gehrden since around 2010 . An area in the landscape protection area was named as a possible location.
