Hohe Egge (Selter)
hill in Germany
At 395 m above sea level (NHN), the Hohe Egge near Ammensen in the Lower Saxon counties of Hildesheim, Holzminden and Northeim is the highest point on the Selter in the Lower Saxon Hills.
Geography
The Hohe Egge lies roughly southeast of the centre of the elongated ridge of the Selter. Its summit is in the county of Holzminden in the municipality of Delligsen – about 2.4 km (as the crow flies) east-southeast of Ammensen on the upper reaches of the Rheinbach stream. North of the hill lies Freden (Leine) and to the southeast is Erzhausen, in the valley of the Leine. To the south is Naensen and to the southwest, Stroit, which lies along the upper course of the Stroiter Bach. The northern hillside descends towards Freden in the county of Hildesheim. To the southeast, towards Erzhausen, and to the south and southwest, towards Naensen and Stroit, the slopes descend into the county of Norttheim. In a valley section in the southern side of the hill, in the borough of Einbeck, is the farmstead of Weddehagen.
Just under 400 metres northeast of the summit of the Hohe Egge along the crest of the Selter are the crags of the Selterklippen and, about 1 km southeast of the Hohe Egge at a height of 393.1 m is the upper basin of the Erzhausen Pumped Storage Plant.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hohe Egge (Selter)” as hill in Germany. 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 hill in Germany. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17322313. Authority coordinates are 51.905, 9.891. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
