Der Hagelberg und die Schlacht (The Hagelberg and the Battle)

At 200.3 metres, the Hagelberg is sadly no longer Brandenburg’s highest peak according to more recent measurements, but it is still considered Germany’s smallest Mittelgebirge (low mountain range) — complete with a summit book, of course. A nationally known event was the Battle of Hagelberg, which took place in 1813 during the Wars of Liberation in the lead-up to the Battle of Leipzig. In 1849 the Borussia Monument was inaugurated in memory of the victorious Landwehr (militia), followed in 1955 by a further monument commemorating German-Russian brotherhood in arms. For a long time a mill stood on the Hagelberg, and from the Second World War onward, radio masts. In the village of Hagelberg, the first village academy of the GDR was founded in 1958.
