I somehow still knew this Mr. Gauss from math lessons. I didn't even know the Haußelberg until I came to the heath. Among other things, Mr. Gauss used his 117-meter-high “summit” in 1820 to measure the Kingdom of Hanover, as the King ordered him to do - the memorial stone that is erected here reveals so much. Together with the refuge, which is right next door, the following equation results: Summit view + heath landscape + refuge = perfect night's rest.
