Kalkrieser Berg

The Kalkrieser Berg is a hill, 157 m high, between the villages of Venne and Engter in the district of Osnabrück [1]. The Kalkrieser Berg is a northern bulge of the Wiehen Hills [1]. To the north is the great bog of Großes Moor at a height of about 47 m above sea level, the Mittelland Canal, built in the 20th century, and the Bramsche parish of Kalkriese [1]. Most historians believe that the narrow point – between the Kalkrieser Berg and the great bog – was where the decisive Battle of the Teutoburg Forest between the Romans and the Germanic tribes took place [1]. In the area of Kalkriese artifacts believed to be from the battle have been recovered and many are on display in the Kalkriese Museum and Park [1].
