The name "Catsberg" refers to a Germanic tribe, the Chatti (in Latin Chatti or Catti), who first appeared in history in the last years before the beginning of our era. In 162 and 170, the Chatti entered the history books once more as aggressors with their invasions of present-day southern Germany and Belgium. After that, the Chatti disappeared as an independent tribe. They probably merged with the Franks at the beginning of the sixth century. Source: Wikipedia

The top of the Catsberg is 164m above sea level. The TV mast adds another 200m to that.

There were once about twenty windmills on the top of the Kasselberg. The last mill caught fire on October 30, 1911, which could be seen far and wide. In 1947, the Ruytoor mill in Arneke was purchased by the local Syndicat d'Initiative, to be opened to the public on July 14, 1949. The mill has two different facilities: it functions as a flour mill, which produces organic flour. An electrical device functions as an oil mill, for the production of both rapeseed oil and linseed oil. Near the mill there is an orientation table and a statue of Maréchal Foch. Source: Wikipedia
