Humboldthöhe (English: Humboldt Hill) is an approximately 85 meters high rubble hill (German: Trümmerberg) in the Volkspark Humboldthain in the Gesundbrunnen district of Berlin. It was created after the Second World War by covering the partly demolished Humboldthain Flak Tower with debris. Today, Humboldthöhe serves as a recreational hill, viewpoint, and climbing site, while the surviving bunker structures are used for guided tours and as winter habitats for bats.
