Hungert

The tops are a Damshäuser with the Rimberg to 497.1 m above sea level. NN high mountain range in the district of Marburg -Biedenkopf, central Hesse. Make the extreme north-eastern foothills of the Gladenbacher mountain country at the interface between the natural areas Westerwald, Rothaargebirge Westhessischem Bergland dar.

Geography

Location and places

The Damshäuser hilltops are mostly located in municipalities of Dautphetal and Lahn. In less kuppigen south they extend to the north-eastern districts of Gladenbach, while the municipality Weimar ( in the southeast nettle Brunn ) and the city of Marburg ( Dilschhausen, in the East) have only a small proportion.

Northern boundary of the ridge is the Upper Lahn Valley between Dautphetal Peace Village and Lahn - Caldern, behind the bagpipe - Vorhöhen are as eastern slopes of the Rothaargebirge.

From - To the east the valley of Dautphe and the subsequent southward saddle limits of the federal highway 453 east of 551.8 m high Daubhaus the Damshäuser crests of Breidenbacher reason and Bottenhorner plateaus - both also parts of Gladenbacher mountain country. The above-mentioned, after about 370 m high saddle to the Bottenhorner plateaus is the only corridor that connects the tops with the other parts of the montaneren Gladenbacher mountain country.

In the south, the watershed between Allna and Salzböde forms the border dar. the natural space Salzbödetal, in the east, the Elnhausen -Michel Bacher Lower the corridor to the back Marburger and thus to Westhessischem Bergland

Apart from a few short streams that drain directly to the north in the Lahn or west to the Dautphe that match Damshäuser tops pretty much the catchment area of ​​the upper reaches of the Allna and her left ( = north ) tributary Ohe, the Ohe the area of ​​the peaks centrally by flowing from northwest to southeast, the Allna its south. North of the Ohe stems from the Walter Bach, - already outside of the studs - will flow to the Ohe Creek Elnhauser water.

Topographical History

The Damshäuser crests have their center of gravity of the north and northwest. While the central northern Rimberg represents an almost completely separate dome, it is in the west followed, 493.5 m high cap rather one of several summits, covering a mountain ridge in northeast-southwest direction. The situation is similar in the west following peaks, up to about 451 m high Hornberg.

To the south - to the west, for example, about the about 473 m high pig's head and the 456.7 m high Dusenberg (both near Herzhausen ) - soft mountains farther and farther from the tip shape from and are similar in shape rather the surveys of the Marburger back.

Significant elevations in the transition to Elnhausen -Michel Bacher valley and thus at the interface to the Marburger back are particularly 369.6 m high thunder mountain in the eastern south, thereof northeastern, pronounced asymmetric - domed Auersberg ( 385.3 m) and the pyramidal flachkuppige Starve ( 411.5 m) in the northeast. At 260 m high saddle between hungry and the western foothills of the 370 m high bird hearth is the actual corridor to Marburger back.

In the north are found, right on the Lahn valley, some autonomous, individual peaks that reach heights of about 400 m. For example, the 412.8 m high, resembling in shape more like a heap Feiselberg northwest of Caldern, the northwest followed by about 425 m high Rossberg and, in the extreme northwest, including the 402.5 m high Hohenfels on which the ruins of Hohenfels is located.

Mountains to ridges

The Damshäuser peaks can be divided according to forest cover and mountain ranges into 4 groups:

Rimberg Group

The clearing of Damshausen to the west and by Dilschhausen (southeast) and Caldern (Northeast) - the latter joined by the country road 3288 - separate from a continuously forested, from 497.1 m high Rimberg dominated ridge, which extends and north to the Lahn Valley in the north west in the offshoots of the cap ( 493.5 m ) transitions.

While the northernmost peaks of this area, especially Feiselberg and Rossberg plus rear view mirror, very Kuppig and are in themselves quite independently, the peaks that connect the south to the Rimberg, noticeably flatter

From north to south follow each other:

• Rear view mirror ( 337.6 m) - Rossberg -northeast offshoot
• Rossberg (approx. 425 m) - North West
• Feiselberg ( 412.8 m) - North East
• Rimberg ( 497.1 m)
• Stoerner ( about 412 m)
• Bernhardt (385 m)
• Old church ( 373.8 m)

Cap group

The peaks around the 493.5 m high canopy are connected by a ridge in northeast-southwest direction. On the north- west offshore Treisberg includes afforestation from first, so that the more northerly and otherwise also completely wooded Hohenfels ( 402.5 m) appears visually separated with the ruins of Hohenfels. Even more clearly separated the Hardt ( 396.5 m) in the south between Dams and Diedenshausen, in a sense, a forested island within the deforested interior of Damshäuser hilltops, the form of an open north of horseshoe Damshausen about Diedenshausen and Weitershausen until after Dilschhausen pulls. To the west, this group is limited by the county road of peace village after Damshausen.

From north to south follow each other:

• Hohenfels ( 402.5 m) - castle ruins in Hohenfels
• Treisberg ( 436.8 m)
• Ehlen wood (approx. 470 m) - northeast of the cap
• Cap ( 493.5 m)
• High Hell ( 481.1 m) - southwest of the cap
• Kronenberg (approx. 454 m) - South-West of the High Hell
• Hardt ( 396.5 m) - considerably south

Western tops

Eichelhardt and Hornberg, who join to the west branch of the cap, have more ridge - crest because the form. The surveys in the south and east of the forest cover have a much less pronounced dome shape as eg Rimberg or cap. Only the pig's head is an exception.

From northwest to southeast, and finally to the southwest follow each other:

• Hornberg (approx. 451 m) - Western North
• Eichelhardt ( 465.3 m) - North East
• Pig's head (about 473 m)
• Streichenberg ( 456.4 m) - West
• Wilke mountain (about 421 m) - the south west
• Dusenberg ( 456.7 m) - south east

Eastern edge peaks

In the eastern junction of the peaks in the Elnhausen -Michel Bacher valley and the southern into Salzbödetal a narrow wooded strip extends from the pyramidal hungry at Caldern about the strikingly asymmetrical kuppigen Auersberg west Elnhausens to Thunder Mountain and finally to Gladenbacher Kirchberg ( 362.3 m) in the far south, which is already counted for natural space Salzbödetal. To the west of this strip is one of Dilschhausen about nettle Brunn to Frohnhausen at Gladenbach consistently of cleared strip. Only in the north, directly at the hungry, the clearance on the main road between 3288 and Caldern Dilschhausen limited.

From the North (East ) to south (west ) follow each other:

• Starve ( 411.5 m)
• Koppe ( 385.4 m)
• Stackelberg (approx. 366 m)
• Auersberg ( 385.3 m)
• Gansei (approx. 357 m)
• Allersberg ( 349.5 m)
• Thunder Mountain ( 369.6 m)
• Gladenbacher Kirchberg ( 362.3 m) - extreme south, already in the natural area Salzbödetal

• Eichelhardt ( 465.3 m) - southeast of Peace Village
• Dusenberg ( 456.7 m) - south of Dautphetal - Herzhausen in the southwest
• Streichenberg ( 456.4 m) - central, south-east of Damshausen
• Hornberg (approx. 451 m) - northwestern tip, southwest of Dautphetal Peace Village
• Rossberg (approx. 425 m) - in the far north between Kernbach and Elmshausen
• Feiselberg ( 412.8 m) - conspicuous by the shape of a heap; eastern extreme north, northwest of Caldern
• Starve ( 411.5 m) - pyramidal, most easterly of the peaks at the interface to the back Marburger, southeast of Caldern
• Stoerner ( about 412 m) - highest peak of Marburg; Rimberg - side peak north of Dilschhausen
• Hohenfels ( 402.5 m) - in the western extreme north at Dautphetal -Allendorf - castle ruins in Hohenfels
• Hardt ( 396.5 m) - central, between Diedenshausen and Damshausen
• Auersberg ( 385.3 m) - eastern tip between the Marburg districts Elnhausen and Dilschhausen and Weimar- nettle Brunn
• Old church ( 373.8 m) - central, " mountain" of Weitershausen
• Thunder Mountain ( 369.6 m) - eastern tip in the ( not very kuppigen ) south, northeast of Gladenbach
• Stackelberg (366 m)
• Gansei (approx. 357 m) - Before the northeast summit of Thunder Mountain

Vegetation

The Damshäuser crests are well wooded half, where the beech is the dominant woody plant, but there are also spruce forests. In the cleared valleys, mainly found in the center of the region, agriculture is operated. Preferred crops are potato, rye and wheat.

The West is a little colder and much more precipitation than the east.
