Baursberg

The Baursberg has a height of 91.6 m above sea level (NN) and is therefore the largest hill in the quarter of Blankenese, Hamburg, Germany and the second largest of the city (behind Hasselbrack).

On top of it the Waterworks Baursberg is located.

Eleven wells pump water from depths of 40 to 320m.

The height of the hill is then used to transport the water to the consumer without pumps, even to distant quarters such as Othmarschen and the town of Schenefeld in Schleswig-Holstein.

The waterworks is operated by state owned Hamburg Wasser.
