Lemberg is a mountain located in the Tuttlingen district of
Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The mountain is the highest point of
the Swabian Alb (Schwäbische Alb). It is one of the "10
Thousanders" — ten 1,000-metre-high summits of the Alb. On the
peak of the mountain is a 30-m-high tower which, reaching above
the surrounding trees, offers a beautiful prospect, in clear
weather as far as the Alps. The name is Celtic in origin. Those
celtic prefix "lem-" means something like morass or sump.
Probably this name derives from the source of the Bära river, a
tributary of the Danube, at the foot of the mountain. From the
8th to 5th centuries B.C. there was a Hallstatt settlement on
the Lemberg. Even today walls and ditches of a fortification can
be detected on the summit. In the east and the west the summit
plateau was terraced. Further remains of Celtic activity are
also on the neighboring mountains, and the whole Heuberg region.
By 1890 there were plans for the building of a wooden tower on
the Lemberg or its neighbor
