The Lutternsche Egge is a 256  m high mountain in the Wiehen Mountains . It lies on the border of the East Westphalian cities of Minden and Bad Oeynhausen in the Minden-Lübbecke district .

The name of the mountain is derived from the small settlement Luttern on the northern slope of the mountain. The Wittekindsweg runs over the summit . To the north of the Lutternschen Egge summit are several quarries for sand-lime brick .

In one of them, the Wiehenvenator dinosaur was first discovered in 1998 .

The Lutternsche Egge, like almost all mountains in the Wiehengebirge, has an elongated ridge summit (Egge) and is only separated from the adjoining peaks by Dören .

At the Lutternschen Egge there is a pass over which the district road 30 crosses the eastern Wiehen Mountains. There is a restaurant with a youth center at the Lutternschen Egge pass.
