On the summit plateau there is a summit stone with a metal cone on it:

the so-called "Gauss column".

The metal cone is engraved with directions and distances to neighboring elevations and to towns that are closer or farther away.

This orientation table was designed by the Hamburg geographer Wilhelm Precht. The Gauss Column was erected in 1925 by the Association of North German Wanderers.

In the past, the summit of the Wilseder Berg naturally offered a different view than it does today. In the 1860s, 7 spruce trees were planted there as a landmark to emphasize the Wilseder Berg in the hilly landscape.

Emil Stender puts the number of trees in the autumn of 1889 at five in his hiking guide “Wanderungen um Hamburg”, between 1904 and 1906 there were still three spruce trees and around 1910 only one tree was left of these spruce trees. The heath fire in 1920 affected this tree so that it stood until around 1926.

In 1977, Walter Gröll wrote that a red beech was growing as a new signaling tree on Wilseder Berg.

In 1820, the then King George IV commissioned the Professor of Astronomy and Director of the Observatory at the University of Göttingen, Carl Friedrich Gauss, to survey the Kingdom of Hanover. Gauss also used the mountain top of the Wilseder Berg as one of the points of triangulation for the land survey. Further central triangular points were the Falkenberg (150 m above sea level) to the south and the Haußelberg (118 m above sea level) to the east. For the purpose of land surveying, a "'triangulation tower'" was erected on the summit of the Wilseder Berg. It is unclear whether this tower had to be demolished at the beginning of the 1890s or only at the end of the 1890s due to dilapidation. According to this, between 1900 and 1906 there was a signal pole on the Wilseder Berg, which is documented on a postcard sent in 1904 (together with three of the seven signal spruce trees). However, a photo taken around 1910 no longer shows this signal pole (and only a signal spruce).

Part of the triangular network of the Gaussian degree measurement, with the Wilseder Berg, was also shown on the reverse of the DM 10 banknote of the fourth series of the Deutsche Mark.
