Kreuzberg Monument and ViktoriaparkSection 1 of 5

Welcome to the highest natural elevation in the heart of Berlin. You are standing on the Kreuzberg hill within the lush grounds of Viktoriapark. Rising sixty-six meters above sea level, this spot offers a rare vertical perspective in an otherwise mostly flat city. Historically, this hill was known by several names, including the Round Vineyard, reflecting the agriculture that once dominated this landscape. As you begin your ascent or look around the base, you are treading on ground that marks the transition from the glacial valley of central Berlin to the higher Teltow plateau to the south. This hill is more than just a topographic feature; it is the physical namesake of this entire legendary district. Take a deep breath of the surprisingly fresh air here, and let us explore how a single iron monument on a hill gave a whole neighborhood its identity.
