| The Engelhorn Mountains, left, near Meiringen, Switzerland | The Guldene Engel in Hockenheim, built by Johann Georg (Hans) Engelhorn, 1630-1698 |
The Engelhorngruppe is a series of steep, sharp limestone peaks in the Bernese Highlands famous for their technical climbing routes. The tallest is Gross Engelhorn at 2773 meters; others are Urbach Engelhorn, 2758 m; and Klein Engelhorn, 2643 m. It is speculated that the family name originated when a migrant from this area of Switzerland relocated to the Rhine Valley near Hockenheim in the 16th century and adopted the name of these mountains as his own.
