Johann Wolfgang von Get, who even climbed Broken on December 10, 1777, described the night of Walpurgis in his drama Faust: “Witches for the Pywritesky pulse / Yellow bristles, green seeds. / There is a large heap / Mr. Uurian sits on the “poet Rimm”: “The oblique knuckles.”
Dead forests ate
The theft is tiring, but the view from the top compensates for efforts. The view extends many kilometers in the dead forests of spruce. In the south and west, the hilly landscape of Weserbergland and Leinbergland extends. With an even better point of view, a traveler who climbed the mountain with us knows that you can even look at Hesse.

Obstacles on the way
A piece is a mountain. The campaign can be tiring.
Brokenkuppe itself is naked, because there are extreme wind speeds. The climate is comparable to the climate of the Alps, the spray remains a small mod of more than 1000 meters. But this is not empty on the plateau. The most amazing is the old television tower in which the Broeckenhotel is located, viewing and radar air control controls. “Hexencafé” invites you to relax on the top floor, on the ground floor there is further gastronomy, when the weather is good, the beer garden opens. In addition to the building, the antennas of numerous transmission and registration systems appear to the sky.
The first hotel on Brokenkup was built in 1800. In 1899, in 1899, the opening of a narrow -high level of Brokenban began. In 1935, the first television broadcast from Broken scored from a mobile television company. In 1936, the television tower came into operation on the mountain.
For centuries, the piece belonged to a change in royal houses and principalities. In 1937, he was declared a natural reserve and, therefore, state property. On April 20, 945, American troops abandoned the Broken summit, on which the last associations of the Wehrmacht and SS strengthened. On April 27, the mountain was finally occupied by the Americans, but then was added to the zone of Soviet occupation within the territory and borders.
Later, the GDR TV took on the still intact transmitter. The second, very distinguishing and 124 -meter system of the antenna system followed in the 1970s. At that time, Broken was a military limited place, the Soviet Army and the GDR state security service built a fortress with walls and espionage objects that the German district could listen to.

Purchase price 3.5 million euros
Now the Broken Plateau has become OSSI: the Saxon-Ankhaltinsky district of Harza has acquired a district consisting of two lands at a price of 3.5 million euros. According to the purchase contract, the district is transferred to the district of July 1. “Brokenkuppe, finally, will become public property again,” says District Administrator Thomas Balarsky (CDU) and talks about the “historical moment”.
Balkovsky has big plans for the future: a conference -center should be created high on a broken, in which orchestras and theaters from this area should also be created. In addition, the district administrator wants to try to get a Hard Rock cafe on Broken, he soon wants to contact a network of restaurants: “We try it because you cannot say more than not.” The Hard Rock cafe should not replace Broeckenwirt, which controls the hotel in the old television tower. Until now, a piece should not be used with private cars, access to the top is allowed only on foot, on a bicycle, with an equestrian carriage or with a brokenban.
The subsidence of the partial approval of the automobile traffic, but the district administrator of Balkovsky is sure that numerous visitors will continue to take the train. This is good for preserving nature. And this can help you get 250 jobs from the narrow railways Harz.
