List of highest mountains of Germany

• Ranking: The ranking of the peak within Germany in terms of height. • Photograph: Photograph of the mountain. • Peak: Name of the peak. • Height: Height of the mountain in metres. • Mountain range: Mountain range in which the mountain lies. • Massif: (table 1) Gives the name of the massif to which the mountain belongs. If the massif is named after a linked main peak, the link is omitted here. • Location: (table 2) DE = mountain lies entirely on German territory; DE/AT = mountain lies in the area of the border between Germany and Austria, but the peak at least is on German state territory. • Isolation: The isolation describes the radius of the area which the mountain dominates. Given in kilometres including the reference point. • Prominence: The prominence is the height difference between height of the summit and the highest point to which one must descend in order to climb a higher peak. Given in metres including the reference point. • First climb: Name of the first climber and date. Empty field indicates that the first climber or the date is not known. There may be differences in data from other sources. The tables use the tables of the German height reference system, based on height above Normalnull (~sea level) in Amsterdam, and data from the Bavarian Survey Office (Bayerischen Vermessungsverwaltung). == The highest summits ==

Table 1 below shows the 30 highest independent summits in Germany. A summit or peak requires a prominence of over in order to count as independent. By clicking on the symbols at the head of the table the individual columns may be sorted. } Middle Wetterspitze • 1 First recorded climb. Historic maps from the 18th century suggest that the Zugspitze had already been climbed before 1770. • 2 Year of the first complete crossing of the Jubiläums arête. • 3 Exact value unknown as no survey has been carried out. Estimate based on contours from a topographical map. • 4 First recorded climb. It is possible that it had been climbed during survey work in 1818 or work by a border commission in 1835 • 5 As part of a survey == The highest mountains ==

Table 2 below shows the 21 highest mountains in Germany. A mountain is considered to be the main summit of a massif if its prominence is more than .

Historic maps from the 18th century suggest that the Zugspitze had already been climbed before 1770. • 2 As part of a survey • 3 Exact value not known, because it has not been surveyed.
