Shortly before the summit, there is a memorial plaque attached directly to the rubble in memory of the victims of the war. The plaque is part of the memorial, which also includes the summit cross and the stepped structure on the summit.

The memorial was built in 1957/1958 based on designs by the architect Professor Manfred Pahl.

The rubble, which is still clearly visible today, is part of the memorial. At the time, it was deliberately created as clearly recognizable piles of rubble as part of the memorial. They are symbolic of the local history that needs to be researched both scientifically and artistically.

From the Birkenkopf, at 511 m, you have a 360-degree panoramic view.

Very nice view over Stuttgart and it's interesting how this mountain was created from the rubble from the war
