The Westerberg (i.e. western hill) in is a low ridge in Northern Germany in the north of the collective municipality of Börde Lamstedt in the state of Lower Saxony. It is covered with mixed forest and, like the nearby Wingst ridge, it is an end moraine from the Saale glaciation period. Together with the Wingst it forms part of the eastern boundary of Land Hadeln. The ''Georgenhöhe'' ("George's Height") is its highest elevation at . In the middle of the Westerberg woods are ''inter alia'' a megalithic grave or dolmen, the ''Steinofen'' and a "stone garden", a collection of 106 examples of glacial erratics. A nunnery that later moved to Himmelpforten was originally seated on the hill.〔Georg von Issendorff, ''Kloster und Amt Himmelpforten.
