'''Hasselkopf''' is a [[mountain]] on the southern periphery of [[Braunlage]], [[Germany]]. It is 612&nbsp;m high.

The hill is mostly covered in grass and undeveloped, but its northern slope has a short [[ski lift]] and can be used for downhill [[skiing]] in the winter months.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.skiresort.de/skigebiet/hasselkopf-braunlage/|title=Skigebiet Hasselkopf – Braunlage|website=www.skiresort.de|language=de|access-date=12 May 2020}}</ref>

On 7 May 1964, the hill was used by [[Gerhard Zucker]] to unsuccessfully attempt to demonstrate the use of [[mail rocket]]s. One exploded in an accident, killing three.<ref>{{cite book|title=Animals in Space: From Research Rockets to the Space Shuttle|last1=Burgess|first1=Colin|last2=Dubbs|first2=Dubbs|year=2007|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|page=101|isbn=978-0-387-36053-9|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xSdHVIpsrKkC&pg=PA101}}</ref>
