Places to see in ( Heidelberg - Germany ) Heiligenberg
The Heiligenberg is a wooded hill overlooking the town of Heidelberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It rises to around 440 meters NHN and has been the site of several historical buildings: a Celtic hilltop fortification, a Roman sacred precinct, several medieval monasteries, modern lookout towers and a so-called Thingstätte, built by the Nazis in the 1930s.
The hill was called the Aberinsberg in the Carolingian period; in 1265 Premonstratensians from All Saints' Abbey in the Black Forest took over the two monasteries on the mountain, and its name became Allerheiligen-Berg (all saints' mountain), the ancestor of its present name.
The Heiligenberg is a low sandstone mountain, with a highest elevation of 439.9 metres (1,443 ft), on the western edge of the Odenwald where it meets the Bergstraße Route and the Upper Rhine Plain. It lies north of the Michaelsberg (375.5 metres or 1,232 feet), and on the other side of the Neckar the Königstuhl rises above the old town of Heidelberg. The west and south sides of the Heiligenberg, facing the plain and the Neckar valley, are steep. On the north side the Kerb valley, through which flows a stream called the Rombach or Mühlbach, lies between the Heiligenberg and the Hoher Nistler; to the north-east a ridge connects the Heiligenberg to the Weißer Stein.
The mountain rises above the Heidelberg neighborhoods of Neuenheim and Handschuhsheim. The Philosophers' Way leads up the mountain from Neuenheim for about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi). The Heiligenberg offers a good view of the plain and the river valley and offers a defensive position. Archaeological investigations have taken place there several times since 1881, including in the 1920s and 1930s during the building of a guest house and the Nazi-era Thingstätte; finds of Neolithic linear pottery show it was inhabited as early as 5500–5100 BCE. Celts settled there beginning in the first half of the first millennium BCE and constructed a double-walled hill fort around the primary and secondary peak. (The water source for this Celtic settlement, known as the Bittersbrunnen, was restored in 1979/80.)

Heiligenberg bei Heidelberg
Der 440 m hohe Heiligenberg liegt nördlich der Stadt Heidelberg. In karolingischer Zeit hieß er Aberinsberg, bevor er nach der Besiedlung der Klöster St. Michael und St. Stephan 1265 durch Mönche aus dem Allerheiligenkloster im Schwarzwald den Namen „Allerheiligen-Berg“ (lateinisch: „mons omnium sanctorum“) erhielt. Er war schon in der Jungsteinzeit besiedelt, ab der 1. Hälfte des 1. Jahrtausends v. Chr. ließen sich Kelten hier dauerhaft nieder. Heute sind noch Reste einer doppelten keltischen Ringwallanlage zu sehen. Zur Zeit der Römer trug der Gipfel einen heiligen Bezirk mit Steinbauten. 1023 wurde das Michaelskloster, 1094 das Stephanskloster gegründet.1885 entstand aus den Steinen der Klosterruine St. Stephan der Aussichtsturm, 1934 wurde in der Nazizeit eine Freilichtbühne, die Thingstätte, gebaut. Es gibt wohl wenige Orte, wo so viele kulturelle Stätten auf wenigen Kilometern Abstand vereint sind.
Dokumentation Thingstätte Heidelberg Fackelkinder
Ein Mal im Jahr versammeln sich ca. 15.000 Menschen auf dem Heiligenberg bei Heidelberg, um den ersten Mai zu zelebrieren. Es gibt keinen Strom, kein fließend Wasser und keine sanitären Einrichtungen, trotzdem duldet die Stadt Heidelberg diese Festlichkeit bei der die Grenzen zwischen kultigem und exzessivem Feiern oftmals verwischen. Wir nahmen uns diesem Thema in dokumentarischer Sicht an und hinterfragten die Kontroversen zwischen Befürwortern und Gegnern, polizeilichen Einsatzleitern und feierwütigen Teilnehmern und der Frage die alle beschäftigt: Soll man es verbieten, oder nicht.

Heidelberg and Heiligenberg | Germany #2
Heidelberg is the next stop. The S-Bahn drops us off at Heidelberg-Altstadt station. Heidelberg is famous for its Renaissance castle ruin where the poet Goethe once walked, its intact baroque centre, and its university. After visiting Heidelberg, we climb the Heiligenberg, on the northern bank of the river Neckar. The hill provides excellent views over the town and the plains beyond. The Heiligenberg was home to Celts, Romans, and Benedictine monks. During the 1930s, a Thingstätte was built to serve as an open-air theatre.
HEIDELBERG, EXPLORING a 1930s amphitheater built by National Socialists (GERMANY)
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the Heidelberg Thingstätte which is an open-air theatre on the Heiligenberg in Heidelberg (Germany) and which was built during the Third Reich for performances and events as part of the Thingspiel movement. It is currently a protected cultural monument.
The Heiligenberg theatre is one of the official Thingstätten or Thingplätze built in the first part of the Nazi era as part of the Thingspiel movement. It is in the form of an egg-shaped amphitheatre and has a capacity of approximately 8,000 seats or 15,000 standees. The architect was Hermann Alker. Work began in late April 1934 and was to have been completed in July, but paused and resumed on the reduced plan, and the facility was completed in June 1935 and dedicated on the 22nd of that month. Approximately 20,000 people attended, and in his address to them Joseph Goebbels spoke of the 'holy mountain' that was the site and he described the theatre as National Socialism in stone and compared the construction of Thingstätten to that of the autobahns. The opening festivities concluded with a summer solstice celebration during which Franz Philipp's cantata Heiliges Vaterland was performed.
After the war the American occupying forces held jazz concerts at the arena, and in 1947 used it for an Easter service which they invited Germans to attend. The site is now the property of the city, has been declared a state protected monument, and like the rest of the mountain, is tended by the Schutzgemeinschaft Heiligenberg.
Plans to resume use of the theatre for performances have been hindered by the lack of electricity and other services. However, since the late 1980s it has been unofficially used for annual celebrations of Walpurgis Night, which feature fire-dancers and jugglers and have attracted as many as 14,000 people.
In 2014 the city introduced Sunday and holiday bus service to the theatre, and there are plans to fell approximately one third of the trees on the mountain beginning in 2016; some of these have obscured the view of the city from the theatre.
Heidelberg is a town on the Neckar River in southwestern Germany. It’s known for venerable Heidelberg University, founded in the 14th century. Gothic Heiliggeistkirche church towers over the cafe-lined Marktplatz, a town square in the Altstadt (Old Town). The red-sandstone ruins of Heidelberg Castle, a noted example of Renaissance architecture, stand on Königstuhl hill.
Germany is a Western European country with a landscape of forests, rivers, mountain ranges and North Sea beaches. It has over 2 millennia of history. Berlin, its capital, is home to art and nightlife scenes, the Brandenburg Gate and many sites relating to WWII. Munich is known for its Oktoberfest and beer halls, including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus. Frankfurt, with its skyscrapers, houses the European Central Bank.

Das Heidenloch (Teil 2) - In Heidelberg auf dem Heiligenberg
Aufgrund vieler Anfragen bin ich ein weiteres Mal nach Heidelberg gereist und habe dort das so genannte Heidenloch aufgesucht. Dies ist ein getarnter Brunnen, der ursprünglich einen Zugang in eine unterirdische Welt darstellte. Die Kirche schüttete einst diesen Zugang mit Schlamm und Steinen zu. Die Legenden besagen, dass dort nachts seltsame Wesen herauskamen, die nicht menschlich waren.
Am Heidenloch befindet sich mit alten Runen geschrieben die Aufschrift: Februar Mond, also fuhr ich im kalten Februar dort hin, um zu sehen, was anders ist...
