The Maschberg is the highest point in the Rödinghausen parish of Schwenningdorf.

A long distance path, the Wittekindsweg, runs over the summit.

To the east the range descends into the water gap of the Große Aue to a height of 80 m above NN.

Southwest of the summit rises the stream of Wehmerhorster Bach.

The name "Maschberg" refers to the Börninghausen village of Masch (also Mesch), which lies northeast of the hill in the valley of Eggetal.
