The Schösserberg is a 377.9 m high, fully wooded elevation and is located in the Gerstunger Forest, a closed forest area of the municipality of Gerstungen in the Wartburg district in Thuringia . In terms of nature, the Schösserberg belongs to the eastern part of the Solztrottenwald in the Richelsdorf Mountains . The Schösserberg, located on the north-western edge of the Gerstung Forest, was (probably) owned by the Gerstunger Amtsschösser (tax officials). In the 16th century there was an early glassworks not far from the Schösserberg in the Kohlbachtal. It remains to be investigated whether the Schösserberg forests were also used by the glassmakers.
A memorial stone on the Kohlbachshäuschen commemorates the hunting trips of the dukes of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . The Hesse-Thuringia border runs around 500 meters west of the Schösserberg. In the GDR era, the forest area was inaccessible and secured by a wide aisle.
