The Pinneberg is 61.3  m above sea level. NHN highest point on the North Sea island of Helgoland and the Schleswig-Holstein district of Pinneberg .

The summit is an elevation of a crater rim protruding a few meters above the level of the Oberland , which was created in 1947 when bunkers were blown up . It can be reached via a short path from the cliff edge path. About 400 m further north-west is the Lange Anna rock needle at the north-west end of the island .

For a long time, the elevation was only perceived as part of the part of the Oberland, which was particularly heavily influenced by the war, with ravines and ravines. Around 1960 the joke name "Franconian Switzerland" can be found on Heligoland maps for this part of the Oberland. The topography there is still changing today, the gorge behind the Pinneberg is slowly being filled as a landfill for excavations. The decisive factor for this part of the Oberland is the Bundeswehr's radar tower, which had to be retouched from images during the Cold War. The elevation itself remained nameless for a long time and was only marked by a survey point. The name Pinneberg was only proposed in 1998. This year a summit cross was erected there by mountain hikers from Itzehoe , which with this name alludes in its humor to the fact that Heligoland belongs to the district of the same name. In May of the same year the highest point in the neighboring district of Steinburg was marked as Itzespitze by the same group . The name Pinneberg has been picked up by the island administration in tourism marketing since 2013 when the readers of a local newspaper were chosen to be the most beautiful place in the district of Pinneberg. The cross (with summit book in a weather box) is made of aluminum , is supported on the side by two struts and is located next to the stone of the survey point . In contrast to the island map of the spa administration of Heligoland on their website, the maps of the island brochure of the same spa administration and the State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation Schleswig-Holstein do not record the Pinneberg by name.

  • Until the First World War , the Flaggenberg (in the picture on the left around 1835 with the flag and Café Bellevue) was a little further south, at 53 m the highest point on the island.

  • During the First World War, the Flaggenberg disappeared under the fortifications of the German Navy. After the blast in 1947, a ravine was created (see entrances to the underground part) with the cross on the edge.

  • The summit cross erected in 1998. Today this part of the Oberland is marked by bomb craters from the time until the island was released in 1952. It was not completely cleared like the built-up part. Many duds are still suspected here.
