Weyerberg

The Weyerberg is a sandy geest island, 54.4 metres (178 ft)[1] high, in the Teufelsmoor ("Devil's Bog") in Northern Germany.

It probably emerged at the end of the ice age, when meltwaters deposited sand around its clay core.

Urn graves dating to 1100 BC were discovered on the southern slopes, the Hinterm Berg.

Several landmarks are located on the Weyerberg, such as the Cheese Dome House after designs by Bruno Taut, the Lower Saxony Stone by Bernhard Hoetger, and the Zion's Church.

In 1957 the Stiftung Worpswede was founded that sought through land purchase to prevent further sand quarrying on the Weyerberg.
