The Black Mountain is a 394 m high mountain near Görlitz in Saxony .
Geographical location
The mountain is located west of the Jauernick-Buschbach district of the community of Markersdorf in Upper Lusatia . Together with the neighboring Kreuzberg, the ridge is also known as the Jauernicker Mountains in Eastern Upper Lusatia .
history
On the south-western slope of the mountain, around nine barrows were discovered in 1929 , three of which were archaeologically examined in 1930 and 1951. Individual shards and small corpses were found , which allow dating to the 11th to 12th centuries. Only four hills remain. The barrows could be related to the sepulcrum (= burial place) droszowicoph, which is mentioned in the Upper Lusatian border document from 1241.
In 1865, a first-order surveying point of the Royal Saxon Triangulation was set up on the mountain as station no. 3 Jauernick . The stone column still preserved today bears the inscription Astronomical-Geodetic Station zu Jauernick of the Central European degree measurement Prussia 1865 .
