The Stengerts is a 347 meter high mountain in the Vor Spessart in the area of the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg .
geography
The summit with the transmitter Stengerts and the Dr.-Hoenlein Tower is located on the district of the district Schweinheim . The district boundary to the Gailbach district runs over the Stengerts . In the south the mountain is bounded by the valley of the Sangenbach and in the northeast by that of the Hensbach (Gailbach). In the northwest, the Stengerts merges into the 253 m high Grauberg. Nearby is the geotope Felsenmeer, which is a protected landscape component, and the geotope Noriswand. On the Grauberg, the city of Aschaffenburg operates the “Buntberg Adventure Land” on a fenced-in area, a leisure and holiday facility for children and young people.
At Stengerts is the Hölleinische Steinbruch, a former, abandoned quartz diorite quarry and geotope in which the mineral Spessartine was found in 1832 . The Altenbachgrund nature reserve extends below this in the area of the former Aschaffenburg military training area . The Aschaffenburg National Natural Heritage was established here in 2018 .
Observation tower
On the summit of the Stengert is the 22 meter high Dr. Hönlein Tower (formerly: Hindenburg Tower ). It was opened on May 23, 1937 with its 100 steps by the Spessart Association and named after Paul von Hindenburg . It is integrated into the route concept. The building was given as a gift to the community of Schweinheim and, with its incorporation in 1939, to the city of Aschaffenburg.
After the Second World War , the building was renamed the Dr.-Hönlein-Turm after the deputy chairman of the Spessart Association, Sanitary Councilor Hans Hönlein . When the observation tower was built, the young forest was so low and light that the view was unobstructed. Today the beech and pine trees are 30 to 35 meters taller than the tower. An attempt is made to keep the view free, especially to Johannisburg Castle , through visual axes.
