The Kapellenberg is a 79.2 meter high elevation in the Glauer Mountains and thus part of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park in the Teltow-Fläming district in Brandenburg.

The elevation was formed around 28,000 years ago at the end of the Vistula Ice Age. Between the terminal moraine of the Fläming, the Baruther glacial valley to the south and the northern Berlin glacial valley, rubble, marl and sand were deposited. This material was compressed again after a brief standstill of the glacier, resulting in a compression moraine.

Robinia, but also some lilac and elder bushes grow in the immediate vicinity of the top of the Kapellenberg. The pines, known as cripple pines, are striking, and in earlier times they were surrounded by a peasant forest. The farmers used the pines as litter and pruned the trees, which in the 21st century are sometimes presented in bizarre shapes. Around 150 years ago, there was a chapel on the summit, which gave the elevation its name. There are only a few bricks left of it in the 21st century.

Apparently there was an old church up here about 150 years ago, of which there are no traces today.

Not as high as Mount Etna, but still well protected from flooding.
