Halver, Urban municipality in Märkischer Kreis, Germany

Halver extends across 77 square kilometers of North Rhine-Westphalia territory at an elevation of 414 meters above sea level.

The settlement dates to 950 AD, first appearing in the Werdener Probsteiregister records as Oberhof Halvara.

The municipality maintains international connections through partnerships with Katrineholm in Sweden, Hautmont in France, and Pardess-Hanna in Israel.

The town provides multiple educational facilities, including schools and a regional library, along with a central Bürgerzentrum for community services.

For five centuries, Halver operated a Fehmic court, which conducted notable trials including one of Duke Henry XVI of Bavaria-Landshut in 1430.
