The Kalvarienberg is a 523-metre-high calvary hill in the nature reserve of Lampertstal near Alendorf, a village in the municipality of Blankenheim in the county of Euskirchen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Count Salentin Ernest of Manderscheid-Blankenheim realised the idea of an ancestor, who wanted the Alendorf countryside and the hill of Kelberg to recall the original hill of Calvary in Jerusalem. Between 1663 and 1680 Salentin initially had seven stations of the cross - based on ancient tradition - and a chapel built on the hill. In the 19th century seven more stations were added. The chapel that stood on the site of the present-day cross no longer exists. The stations, some of which had been badly weathered, were restored with the aid of NRW Foundation for Conservation, Local History and Culture.
