geography
location
The Wartberg is located in the north of the Heilbronn Mountains, a north-western foothill of the Löwenstein Mountains . Its peak rises around 2.3 km (as the crow flies ) northeast of Heilbronn city center. While the majority of the mountain and its summit lie in the north of the urban area of Heilbronn ( urban district ), its northeast flank falls into the municipal area of Erlenbach in the Heilbronn district. The plateau-like high areas of the mountain are forested, and on its flanks there are particularly vineyards .
To the north-north-west, beyond the axis of the district roads 9563 (in Heilbronn) and 2125 (in the district of Heilbronn), the Stiftsberg ( 255.4 m ) joins and to the south-south-east the Weinsberger Sattel (approx. 235 m ) leads to the federal road 39 ( Haller Straße - Öhringer Straße ) in a south-east direction to the north summit of Galgenberg (approx. 312).

History and description
Ringwall and Sternschanze
The Heilbronn historian Alfred Schliz has located the remains of a ring wall with a moat of a prehistoric “People's Castle” in the incisions in the landscape that separate the 120 x 85 meter oval dome of the Wartberg from the ridge. A burial mound from the time of this complex was redesigned by the Heilbronn Beautification Association around 1900 into a ten-pointed Sternschanze with a stone table and benches.
Wartberg tower and Wartberg restaurant
Because of a waiting tower built there in the Middle Ages , the mountain, once called Nordberg , got its current name. In addition to the several renovations and is now serving as a lookout Wartberg tower is located on the Wartberg nor the Wartberg restaurant whose origins lie in taking a wine and beer Ausschanks to 1760th Goethe is said to have been on the Wartberg on his 48th birthday in 1797.
Vine and Lemppruhe
The southernmost point of the Wartberg is the so-called Rebstöckle . Here a wooden pavilion offers a view of the Neckar valley and the Zabergäus mountains . The easternmost point of the Wartberg is the so-called Lemppruhe , named after Oberforster Lempp, who headed the beautification association at the end of the 19th century.
Garbage dump and traffic training area
On its northern side, facing away from Heilbronn, there is a garbage dump and a traffic training area on the Wartberg in Gewann Wolfszipfel . On the landfill site are the remains of a Roman bathing facility, which was discovered in 1933 while the road was being built and dug up by the historical association, but was overlaid by the landfill after 1970.
Elevated tank
At the foot and on the steep slope of the Wartberg there are elevated tanks of the Heilbronn waterworks . The first container was built in 1874 at a height of 208 m . When it was foreseeable that new residential areas in the south and east of Heilbronn would exceed this height, the second elevated tank was built between 1924 and 1926. Standing at 275 m above sea level on the steep slope below the Wartberg restaurant, it can be easily seen from the city, as the topography of the terrain did not allow it to be built completely into the mountain. Instead, it was given an attractive facade design with arcades in front to protect it from solar radiation. The container was designed in such a way that it could have been used as a base for a hotel. However, the hotel plans were not implemented.
Sandstone relief vineyard family
On the southwest flank of the Wartberg, near the intersection of the stairs to the Wartberg and the Panoramaweg, there is the sandstone relief Weingärtnerfamilie from 1953 by Hermann Brellochs . The father pictured wears the features of Hermann Schneider .
Traffic and walking
The federal highways 27 (Heilbronn– Neckarsulm ) in the west and 39 (Heilbronn– Weinsberg ) in the southeast lead past the mountain ; they have a connection to the federal motorway 6 passing northeast of the mountain . The axis of the district roads 9563 and 2125 (Heilbronn– Binswangen ) branches off from the B 27 and passes the mountain to the northwest , and from the B 39 a dead end leads up to the summit.
On the southwest flank of the Wartberg, below the plateau of the mountain, a 6 km long circular and sculpture path as well as an educational path is the Wine Panorama Path with 24 stations, 40 information boards and 11 sculptures. The stairs to the Wartberg run through the vineyards between the Aubergweg, which runs at the southwestern foot, and the Wein-Panorama-Weg .
