The Breiteberg is a hill in the Lusatian Highlands in Free State of Saxony, Federal Republic of Germany, with an altitude of 510 metres (1,670 ft) above mean sea level.

The Breiteberg is located in the transition area between the Zittau Mountains and the Lusatian Highlands between the villages Hainewalde, Großschönau and Bertsdorf.

In 1467, Zittau folk ambushed the Hussites on the hill, killing 150 as they tried to escape to Bohemia after a successful raid.

In 1880, Johann Franz Vorknecht opened a summer restaurant on top of the Breiteberg.

The monument, made of bronze on a stone plinth was 5 metres high and built by the reputable company of "Gladebeck und Sohn" from Berlin.
