The Rixdorfer Höhe is a 67.9 meter high mountain of rubble in Berlin-Neukölln .
After the Second World War , from 1948 to 1953, the Hasenheide park complex was expanded in the western part by the gardening department manager Kurt Pöthig to include the Rixdorfer Höhe, a mountain made of 700,000 cubic meters of rubble. The facility, which was opened in 1951, had a wide view of Berlin (the view is now blocked by the trees that have been planted).
In 1955, the monument to the Berlin rubble women , created by Katharina Szelinski-Singer , was unveiled at Rixdorfer Höhe , which was moved to a new location in 1986 after a renovation at the northern entrance to Volkspark Hasenheide on Graefestrasse .
