geography
location
The Sinnberg rises on the border from Bad Kissingen to the core of the municipality of Nüdlingen to the northeast . Its summit region is in the northeast of the city of Bad Kissingen and the summit is about 70 m south of the city limits. The federal road 287 , which leads through the Bad Kissingen district of Winkels to Nüdlingen, leads over the saddle of the mountain to the Osterberg ( 358.1 m ), which is also located southeast of the Sinnberg .
Northeast to north past the mountain flows with the Nüdlinger Bach, a tributary of the Franconian Saale, which runs west of the mountain . Parts of the Bavarian Rhön landscape protection area ( CDDA no. 396113; 95.98 km² ) are located on the mountain .
Natural allocation
The Sinnberg forms in the natural spatial main unit group Mainfränkische Platten (No. 13) and in the main unit Wern-Lauer-Platten (135) the south-west of two northwest-facing foothills of the sub-unit Sulzthaler Heights (135.6). In the east, north and west to south, the natural area Nüdlinger stepforeland (140.21) joins, which belongs to the main unit group Odenwald, Spessart and Südrhön (14) and in the main unit Südrhön (140) to the subunit Eastern South Rhön (140.2); therefore the Sinnberg is only connected to the eastern South Rhön in the southeast.

history
According to local researcher AW Nikola, it is possible, if ultimately not provable, that the name "Sinnberg" comes from the Asin Syn . According to a legend, the name came about when in primeval times Hermo, the owner of a Freihof in a forest clearing on today's Sinnberg, fell in love with the nymph Wellinde, who was affectionate to him, and brought her to his estate. Wellinde soon began to mourn for her homeland and the other mermaids, whereupon Hermo called her Sinntraute, the "thoughtful trust". After the birth of their son Sinnwalt, Wellinde fell ill and died. The mountain was named "Sinnberg" after Sinntraude and Sinnwalt.
In 1866 soldiers who died in the Battle of Kissingen during the German War were buried on the Sinnberg . The graves are to the east of today's Café Sinnberg.
In 1906 the Madonna sculpture designed by the sculptor Valentin Weidner was moved to its current location (approx. 260 m ) on the southwest slope of the Sinnberg. At that time it was still free-standing; it is currently located in the Winkels district. The sculpture was created around 1900 and was initially part of the Villa Rosenhügel as a house Madonna , which stood on Altenberg on Schönbornstrasse in the Garitz district .
In 1914, construction of the 17.4 m high Bismarck tower according to plans by the architect Wilhelm Kreis began on a slightly more than 300 m high point on the southwest slope of the Sinnberg . Due to the First World War and the global economic crisis , the construction work was not finished until 1930.
In 1928 a ski jumping hill was constructed on the Sinnberg near the Bismarck tower, which went into operation on January 27, 1929 with an opening jump. The opening jump was carried out by ski warden Willy Wegemer, who was the driving force behind the construction of the ski jump. Over the years, several competitions with participants from all over the Rhön and Vorderrhön took place every winter . The facility was rebuilt in the summer of 1929, as well as in 1950 and 1965. After the ski jumping hill operation had come to a standstill due to the Second World War , it was resumed after the end of the war. Despite a brief reactivation in 1965, the ski jump is no longer in operation; meanwhile only remnants of the system are left.
From 1933 to 1936 the local park cemetery , 83,552 m² in size, was built below the Sinnberg after the chapel cemetery , which was first occupied in 1348, had proven to be too small. The first plans go back to 1880. The park cemetery was expanded several times, namely in 1976, 1985 and 2013 to include a section for stillbirths.
When planning the Bad Kissingen terrace swimming pool , built in 1954 , the Sinnberg was also considered as a location; In the end, however, it was built on Finsterberg .
