Tönsberg

The Tönsberg is a hill ridge in the Teutoburg Forest that reaches a height of 333.4 m above sea level (NN) and lies in the district of Lippe near Oerlinghausen. Hermann's Way runs over the Tönsberg for about 3.5 km.

Points of interest

Along Hermann's Way on the crest of the Tönsberg are several points of interest:

Hünenkapelle

To the east of the long ridge of the Tönsberg are the ruins of a pre-historic hillfort (Sachsenlager) and a chapel known as the Hünenkapelle. The fortification was probably used until the 9th century as a defensive site and refuge. The chapel would have been built in the time when Christianity reached the Saxons under Frankish rule. The name "Tönsberg" could go back to Holy Anthony, in whose honour the first Christian chapel could have been dedicated.

Löns Monument

In 1898 the writer, Hermann Löns, walked over Tönsberg; his impressions are recorded in his narrative, Frau Einsamkeit ("Lady Loneliness"), which appeared in 1911 in the volume Da draußen vor dem Tore. Heimatliche Naturbilder.. Dort Thirty years later a monument to him was erected on the Tönsberg and unveiled on 9 September 1928.
