The people there are actually standing on a gigantic rubble heap made out of the debris of Stuttgart's houses having been destroyed during air raids in the Second World War. 45% of the town had been destroyed by a total of 53 air raids and the Birkenkopf mountain near the town centre was deemed a good place to put the rubble on top of. So the height of the mountain went up from 471 to 511,2m today.
A large cross made of steel was erected and today in summertime Holy Mass is celebrated on some Sundays.

But most of all many people regardless of their denominations come here during holidays or their freetime to have a good view over Stuttgart or simply enjoy a fresh breeze during hot summer days.
