The Wylerberg or Teufelsberg ( Dutch Duivelsberg ) is a hill near Nijmegen that originally belonged to the German municipality of Wyler / North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1949 the mountain was placed under Dutch contract management by the British military administration on the initiative of the Netherlands and in 1963 it was finally Dutch territory.
history
The German name is derived from the neighboring village of Wyler . In the Middle Ages, the Mergelp Castle was located on the mountain .
Today the Wylerberg is an approximately 125 hectare nature reserve . Its border is the German-Dutch border in the east. In the north the area is bounded by the village of Beek and the main road behind which the Wylermeer lies. In the south, the road from Berg en Dal to Wyler forms the border.
The Wylerberg is the only one of the areas annexed after the Second World War that has remained with the Netherlands to this day.
