Geography
The mountain range is located south of the local situation of the city Dransfeld, largely in the area of the city Dransfeld, partly on the territory of the municipality Jühnde, and to the territory of the municipality Scheden zoom reaching the eastern edge of Dransfelder urban forest in the natural park Munden, about halfway (on a straight line ) between Göttingen in the Northeast and Hann. Munden in the southwest. He is the highest elevation of Dransfelder area.
Mountain height
The height of the High Hagens is occasionally at 508 m above sea level. NN indicated; this number also appears in works on newer cards yet. However, apparently was the original height of this peak reached in the course of basalt stone exploitation in the 19th and 20th century, probably after the launch on November 14, 1963 collapse of approximately 506 m above sea level. NN height built Old Gaußturmes removed. Today, for about 493 m high summit of the High Hagens is located at 51 ° 28 ' 31 " N, 9 ° 45' 52" O51.4752289.764569493.
A more recent work has maps instead of the summit of the High Hagens from the 480 m high summit of some north-west to north-north- west of the High Hagens located Bruns mountain with altitude. However, not with a climax but with a tower symbol; there on the mountain Bruns no tower stands, this symbol can only refer to the (new) Gaußturm, which is built on the Hohen Hagen.
After the oats mountain ( 581 m), the two equally high stone mountains ( Great and Little Steinberg; each 542 meters high) and other mountains in the Lower Saxon part of the Kaufunger forest or in the nature park Munden is one of the High Hagen to the highest mountains in the southern tip of the state Lower Saxony.
Geology
The High Hagen is one of the northernmost volcano in Germany. He hid mineable quantities of volcanic Gesteines, which has its origin in the Tertiary period. The degradation of basalt rock on Hohenhagen is occupied from 1825/26. Already in 1856 the quarry was expanded in the 1920s set a most important time of the basalt mining. The basalt quarry area at that time was about 11 acres. However, the basalt deposits on Hohenhagen were not inexhaustible, the mining was stopped in 1971.
The history of the basalt fracture can be experienced by a geological and mining path since the fall of 2004.
History
As part of the 1818-1826 conducted by Carl Friedrich Gauss by triangulation National Survey of the Kingdom of Hanover ( Gaussian Landesaufnahme ) used the Gaussian Hohenhagen as a triangulation point for his " large triangle " High Hagen - Brocken - Big Island mountain. This triangle with sides of length 68 km ( High Hagen - Brocken ), 84 km ( High Hagen - Island Mountain ) and 106 km ( Brocken - Mountain Island ) was the basis for linking many regional survey data.
Since Gaussian even then held a non-Euclidean geometry is possible and he knew that the parallel postulate was expendable, developed for the measurement of the large triangle, the legend, Gauss did on the occasion of the Hanoverian State Survey empirically by a deviation of the angle sum of particularly large triangles from the Euclidean value wanted by 180 °, such as in this triangle that is formed from Hohen Hagen, the Brocken mountain and the island. The survey by Gauss is busy, the above-mentioned presumption of motivation, however, is uncertain. Max Jammer wrote about the results of this Gaussian measure: " It need hardly be said specifically that he discovered within the limits of error no deviation from 180 °, and it drew the conclusion that the structure of the real space is, as far as the experience allowed about a statement, Euclidean. "
Structures
Gaußturm
On the Hohen Hagen is the Gaußturm, a 51 m high observation tower at 478 m above sea level. NN. See: Gaussian Landesaufnahme
The house is a 1914 High Hagen erbauter former mountain inn and is used as a school camp and training center since 1982. Carriers are the Friends of the Georg- Christoph- Lichtenberg- School Göttingen, the Otto -Hahn -Gymnasium Göttingen and the Association for extracurricular educational e V. The self-catering house has 40 beds and can be rented to groups. It is located at today's summit of the High Hagens next to the Gaußturm middle of the forest.
Recreation and Sports
Rabbits milker running
Every May 1, has been held since 1998 instead of Dransfelder rabbits Melker run a 10,900 m long Volksberg overflow leading Dran field over the Hohen Hagen.
Cycling
Since 2004 over the north-west rise the road to the summit of the High Hagens a section equipped with mountain stage of the third category of the International Niedersachsen- tour for cyclists and, since 2005, the everyman's race with start and finish in Göttingen on the road over the Gaußturm with partially 10 % slope leads up. The High Hagen is the home mountain of cycling clubs RSC High - Hagen, who is committed to the grassroots for MTB and road cycling around the Hohen Hagen.
Hiking trails
In addition to local walking and hiking routes ( Geology path ) leading over the Hohen Hagen, the mountain is the station of the student path between the villages Rosdorf and Scheden.
