The Rode is now ge rode ter , agricultural 498.4 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in the area of the municipality of Rodeberg on the edge of the Obereichsfeld , in the western part of the Unstrut-Hainich district .
The geological subsoil of the Rode consists of shell limestone and belongs to the southern edge of the Upper Eichsfeld at the transition to the Hainich . The mountain lies in the southern dike field and belongs to the Mühlhäuser Stadtwald conservation area.
Coming from Mühlhausen / Thuringia , the Alte Lengenfelder Straße runs over the mountain to Lengenfeld unterm Stein . The Eigenrieder Warte is only about 400 m east of the mountain summit. Together with the Mühlhäuser Landgraben , it represents a medieval border fortification against the Eichsfeld. About a kilometer southeast is the Alte Burg refuge near Eigenrieden.
At the end of the Second World War, violent fighting raged around the village of Struth with senselessly sacrificed soldiers on the German side, because the American combat units were already deep in the Thuringian basin near Ohrdruf at the same time . A large part of the town of Struth was destroyed by American fighter-bombers and combat operations; the local chronicle names 65 houses, 77 stables, 88 barns and the cigar factory. Numerous soldiers from both sides, as well as 13 residents of the community, were killed. The attack got stuck in Struth.
Today there is a telecommunications mast on the summit of the Rode and the first two wind turbines just to the west of it.
