Facts and practical information

The Brauhausberg is an 88 m above sea level elevation in the Teltower suburb of Potsdam. It is located in front of the Ravensberg mountains and forms the northern end of the Saarmund end moraine arc. Its name is based on a brewery opened on it in the early 18th century. Its southern neighbor is Telegrafenberg, which was called Hinterer Brauhausberg until 1832. The Brauhausberg is considered an ancient natural landmark in the glacial valley, long before the Havel existed.

The naturalist Alexander von Humboldt was the first to use the popularly euphemistic name "Potsdam Chimborasso" for the hill, after his return from his attempt to climb the South American original. Particularly striking is the development on the Brauhausberg, visible from afar, with the former war school. In the GDR era, the cose name "Kremlin" prevailed for this complex.
