Bröhn

The Bröhn is the highest hill in the Deister range in the German state of Lower Saxony, reaching 405 metres (1,329 ft).

The panoramic view from this observation tower in good weather over the Calenberg Land reaches as far as Hildesheim and Hanover, to Lake Steinhude, and also over the northern Weser Uplands.

Not far from the Bröhn, on the Höfeler (395 metres or 1,296 feet), is a tower belonging to German Air Traffic Control with a SRE-M  [de] radar site.

At 11 am on a September day in 1958 an F-84 Thunderjet fighter of the Danish Air Force crashed about 300 metres (980 ft) east of the control centre.

In fog, he lost his bearings and sent his last position report at a height of 250 metres (820 ft) over Stadthagen.
