Olympiaberg - olympic hill.

Piled up between 1947 and 1958 as one of the two post-war rubble dumps in Munich (the other being the Luitpoldhügel in the Luitpoldpark a short distance to the east). Later raised with the soil moved during the construction of the olympic subway line U3.

With a height of about 60 meters (197 ft), the Olympiaberg is one of Munich's highest elevations.

At the peak, an aluminum cross commemorates the civilian victims of World War 2.
