Bäumlersklippe
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Bäumlersklippe is a crag and one of the so-called Harzklippen (Harz rock formations) in the Harz National Park southwest of Ilsenburg.
The crag was restored as a travel destination in 2019. Specifically, an information board and bench were installed and the outlook railing was restored. The Borkenkäferpfad (Bark beetle path) connects Ilsenburg to the crag and other points in the Harz rock formations.
It has been recommended by several travel guides, especially noted for its expansive views.
The crag derives its name from a hunter, Bäumler. He is supposed to have stabbed and killed his only son out of jealousy and then thrown himself off this rock to his death. This legendary family drama was picked up on by Theodor Fontane and used in his story, Ellernklipp.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Bäumlersklippe” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 9, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q967069. Authority coordinates are 51.855, 10.668. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2019.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
