The Falkenberg lies in the northwestern part of the district of Celle in northern Germany. It is one of the highest points on the Lüneburg Heath. In good weather Hanover is visible from its summit. It is on the terrain of the NATO facility, the Bergen-Hohne Training Area, in the vicinity of the village of Becklingen.
In 1820 King George IV the United Kingdom tasked the Professor of Astronomy and Director of the Observatory at Göttingen University, Carl Friedrich Gauss, to survey the Kingdom of Hanover. Gauss used the summit of Falkenberg, amongst others, as a triangulation station for his land surveys. Another central trig point was the Falkenberg which lay further south.
