The Schlehenberg is a 64 meter high mountain of rubble with an almost 16 hectare large, protected green area on the southern outskirts of Berlin.
location
The Schlehenberg is located in the middle of the ground moraine of the Teltower plateau in the south of the Marienfelde district of Berlin in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district between Bundesstraße 101 (Marienfelder Allee, height around 45 meters) in the west and Diedersdorfer Weg in the east (height around 49 meters). The Marienfeld site of the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment and the Marienfelde amusement park are adjacent.
To the south, the area is bounded by the allotment garden 'Amstelveen' and by the Wipraer Weg of the Marienfelde III suburban settlement . To the north, the residential area is adjacent to Ahrensdorfer Straße with apartment buildings.
The area is crossed by two green main routes in Berlin, the north-south route (number 5) and the Teltower Dörferweg (number 15) . A strip of green continues to the west on the Poppenreuther Weg on the other side of the main road.
history
Since the 14th century there was a post mill mentioned in the land book of Charles IV on Marienfelder Höhe , which was demolished in 1920. Otherwise the area was only sparsely populated and was partly used for agriculture. During the Second World War , two underground bunkers were built here for the Marienfeld population.
After the war, the bunkers could not be destroyed, and since the capacity of the Marienhöhe rubble hill in Berlin-Tempelhof , located six kilometers to the north, was not sufficient, from 1950 onwards, a heap of rubble was also filled up on the Marienfelder Höhe, until it finally had a volume of had reached over 600,000 m³ and a height of 15 to 20 meters compared to the surrounding area.
Because of the elevated location on the southern outskirts of West Berlin , the American allies decided in 1962 to build the Marienfelde radar system on the hill Berg, which was already covered with topsoil , in order to be able to monitor the area of the German Democratic Republic bordering to the south . Construction work was completed in 1965.
In 1991 the radar system was decommissioned and demolished in 1996. Today the near-natural mountain can be climbed on various hiking trails.
