Luitpold Hill was created from rubble and debris after World War II. The now green hill serves as a small viewing point and is used for sledding in winter. A memorial cross has stood on its summit since 1958.

A part of old Munich lies buried beneath this mountain, the Luitpold Hill. Thousands upon thousands of incendiary bombs and explosive devices fell on the city in the final years of the Second World War; to this day, unexploded bombs are still being found in the ground during construction work. Munich was a key target for Allied bombers, not only as the location of many armaments factories, but also as the Nazi "capital of the movement." By 1945, every second building in the city was destroyed. The Luitpold Hill didn't exist back then. Luitpold Park, laid out in 1911 in honor of Prince Regent Luitpold, was originally largely flat. After the war, however, the people of Munich brought the rubble from their houses here and piled up the Luitpold Hill, just as they did with the Neuhofener Hill on the Sendlinger Isar high bank or today's Olympiaberg on the Oberwiesenfeld.
