The Wetterkreuzberg (400.7 m above NHN)^[1] is a hill in the Haardt range on the eastern edge of the Palatine Forest in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The Wetterkreuzberg, like the Breitenberg (545.2 m), the Taubenkopf (603.8 m) and the Kanzel (531.7 m), is one of the outlying peaks of the Kalmit massif (672.6 m).^[1] It is located in an exposed location right on the edge of the Haardt so that, despite its low elevation, it is seen from places in the Rhine Plain as a prominent peak. To the north the hill is linked to the Kanzel over a shallow saddle. At the summit is a chapel to St. Mary (the Maria-Schutz-Kapelle) which is visible from a long way off. The hill belongs to the parish of Maikammer.

The Kalmitstraße road,^[1] which runs from Maikammer to the Hüttenhohl runs across the hill. Just below the summit there is a walker's car park. The summit may be gained on footpaths from the Maikammer hamlet of Alsterweiler, from St. Martin or even from the Klausental Hut.^{[citation needed]}
