Schwarzer Berg describes a ridge in the city of Stade . The hill was first mentioned as swarten howede as early as 1519 . In 1598 it was already known as the Schwartzen Berg .
Finds from the Middle Stone Age and the 4th century show that the Black Mountain was settled early on.
In 1735 the government negotiated the purchase of the spring ponds on the Black Mountain, which belonged to the Steffenschen Hof. From there a water pipe was led along the old country road, over Schiffertor and Wall to the sand . The rural settlement below the hill was together with the Schiffertorsvorstadt under the jurisdiction of Stade. It was incorporated in 1848/52.
In 1943/44 the southern slope of the Black Mountain was removed for the construction of the Socrates bunker . The bunker was blown up in 1948 and demolished by 1957.
In 1967 the Elbe-Klinikum Stade was opened on the Black Mountain.
