Porta Westfalica, Administrative division in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Porta Westfalica sits at the intersection of the Weser River and Wiehen Hills, forming a natural passage through the mountain ranges of northwestern Germany.
The municipality emerged in 1973 through the consolidation of fifteen independent villages, with the central settlement of Hausberge dating back to 1096.
The Emperor William Monument, constructed between 1892 and 1896, stands 88 meters tall on the Wittekindsberg mountain, representing German national heritage.
The town maintains direct rail connections to major cities, with regular services to Hannover, Osnabrück, and the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region.
The Jakobsberg Telecommunication Tower provides public access to an observation deck overlooking the Weser River valley and surrounding mountainous terrain.
